| Comments: |
This 14.5 mile segment was the fifth for Cumulus and me in our north-south traverse of the North-South Trail. (We are less than 12 miles from our goal - East Beach in Charletown.) Some very attractive and peaceful trails through both WMAs, and nobody else seemed to be using them. Busier in hunting season? |
