 | Comments: |
Beaver Brook was nice, dry, and quick, and Benton was a delightful descent. We opted to use the forest roads to avoid Tunnel Brook Tr, which was a thorn bush mess around this time last year. The forest roads were very quick also.
I saw one hunter (with a rifle, so probably bear this time of year?), which was a good reminder to find the dog's blaze orange stuff as the seasons ramp up. |
