 | Comments: |
Today was rainy and slick. I was pretty much in a cloud all day until Barren Ledges thankfully got a little view. About 5 miles into the day did I start to notice sticks crossed in the middle of the trail. I kicked a decent amount out of the way but left some by just being annoyed. I saw 0 people and got to the long pond stream lean to and decided to sleep at Shaws again so I gave them a call and took a side trail to otter pond area and took the road until the gate and continued until Poet got there. The ledges and the slide on Barren were my only views and amazing for sure. |
