 | Comments: |
Plan C, after turning the corner to see rain in Evans Notch. Rain eventually worked its way up here as well, resulting in wet feet on the grassy lower Mine Loop.
Conant Trail is flooded by beavers in the same place as it has been for a few years (the road portion west of Pine Hill). Saw a beaver swim across that portion of the road, in fact. No obvious way around the flooding without bushwhacking (flooding on both sides of the flooded road). |
