 | Comments: |
A beautiful day in the Ossipee’s. View from Shaw was especially spectacular with passing showers being illuminated by sunshine around the Tripyramid’s. Italian Trail was hard to follow at times, but the flagging helped. That trail is quite the contrast from the carriage road system. |
