Nice little range, it's quiet and clean. Shay is going for the "Ossipee 10" patch, 4 down 6 to go. We ran smack dab into 3 cubs and their mother up on the Shaw trail. I'm proud of Shay, he alerted and got tall, but stayed quiet and by my side on the "leave it" command. Mom and her crew kept on their way and all was good in the forest. The next few hikes will have us in the main grounds, so it will be busier, but Shay likes meeting folks anyway. |
