 | Comments: |
Many thanks to the AMC teen crew who built a small bridge over the outflow from the easternmost beaver pond. Likewise for the removal of old corduroy and installation of puncheons and turnpiking along a wet area.
The trail between the lodge and the Short Circuit has unfinished rock water bars and other drainage. |
