 | Comments: |
Trails were wet this afternoon after a thunderstorm moved through (so much for the sunny forecast). I couldn't remember why I didn't like the White Trail from Sugarloaf to Goose Pond, but now I remember...mud and tall grass. I think the Orange Trail from the col down is probably a much better option.
Not too much in way of blueberries, at least along the trails. |
