| Comments: |
I enjoyed the very short side trip to what bryan appropriately dubbed 'north avery hill.' The blueberry pasture trail to straightback is rough, rocky road, marked with blue ribbon. This was a great hike on some peaks which I had hiked many times (except north avery, today was a first for that) but had not been to in a while. |
