 | Comments: |
Trail crew has done a great job getting Dicey Mills into shape. Stone steps cleaned up, drainage areas cleared. Upper trails still has patches of snow and many areas of blow down. Saw a few hikers with soggy sneakers, poor choice of footwear this early in the season. Blueberry Ledges trail has loads of leaves covering hidden rocks and roots. Descending in Blueberry Ledges with all the leaves was a bit sketchy. Probably should have ascended on Blueberry and descend on Dicey Mills |
