 | Comments: |
Another section of the West End Farm Trail, walking north from Currier Road to just south of District 5 Road.
The initial snomo portion was solid and I barebooted it. Once on the footpath section into the woods, the trail was a pretty consistent exposed ice monorail. I put on spikes and left them on for the rest of the hike. Once I hit the farm road within the Rossview Farm property, there was more bare ground and mud. I continued as far as where the farm road meets the old woods road coming south from District 5 Road, adjacent to Rossview Pond.
Along the farm road, I met two members of the Ross family who were out working the land. A beautiful day to be out! |
