 | Comments: |
Dicey Mills in good shape, and Tom Wiggin was in good shape, dry basically so no issues with slipping on mud or rocks..Blueberry Ledge also dry and no issues with the top scrambles..Rollins ok for short distance to Kate Sleeper, which we took down to Downes Brook trail jct and back..Sleeper had no blowdowns and enjoyed that section...McCrillis Trail (not Path) has a ledge near the top which I sat down to descend, lots of blowdowns, a few overgrown patches near the hardwood/softwood transition zone, easy to follow down low...Flat Mt. Pond Trail was a fast exit!! good day as always |
