 | Comments: |
Mt. Major Trail (aka Main Trail aka Blue Trail) was generally dry with mud in the normal places. Trail continues to erode at an alarming pace.
Straightback Major Link had some mud near the start of the trail, however thereafter it was mostly dry.
Lots of ripe blueberries on Straightback...not enough to scoop yet, but plenty to pick by hand. |
