Comments
Comments: The bushwhack from N. Brother to Fort is tedious. Switched to long pants after the first 100 yards of spruce. On the trip over to Fort, I chose the "wrong" herdpath, which was even thicker than the "main" one, to which it joined before you reach the saddle. Followed the "main" one all the way back...definitely better, relatively speaking.
