 | Comments: |
Followed the previous report to the hairpin and started whack to recognized HP. Chose to take a straight line down to logging road system shown on Gaia to shave mileage on return and saved a mile off rather than going back the way we came. Found good and just ok woods until logging road system where things turned wet and nasty until logging road Wildcat Brook 233 which is an excellent road. |
