 | Comments: |
A gorgeous day for some big straggling sections in the Albany Intervale. Sawyer Pond to Brunel, Brunel being brushy and choked with blowdowns in a couple of spots, otherwise easy to follow. Following the up and back, Sawyer Pond and Sawyer River trails were a joy, providing fast, easy walking. Sawyer Pond is a fantastic spot! An all around chilly day, but not a bad one to be a fast mover. |
