Comments
Comments: Nash Stream Rd, Trio Pond Rd are in great shape. Passenger car could easily go in. Trio pond did have a small amount of snow, which could be a problem soon, if you have two wheel drive and no snow tires. Parked at gate and walked to first camp. 50' before camp is a "trail" in that leads to a logging road. Followed the road to near its end and headed up. Woods were steep but ok. As we approached the ridge we hit open woods with plenty of moose trails. From Middle we headed west toward the other peak through mostly open woods and herd paths. Hit Long Mountain Pond near its outlet for an easy cross (pond almost frozen). Followed herd paths up to West Long. For our exit we dropped down and traversed to the east and caught the top of the logging road. These woods were scrappy but not horrible. Easy out once on the road.
Way faster day than we anticipated with friend Bill Magyar.
