Torre is a great hiking dog but didn't like this hike. She was almost swept away on first river crossing. Good thing I had her on leash. |

 | Comments: |
It was a wet, rainy, cold day. The slide was very slippery, especially where there were leaves on the upper half. Luckily, on way down we missed slide trail and ended up on Brutus Bushwack. That's the best way up and down if you can find it. Wish we had taken the Black Pond Bushwack, too. NOTE: if there has been a lot of rain consider using the two bushwacks, especially Black Pond BW. |
