Comments
Comments: Heading up Wentworth trail was quite nice with a few blow downs. We beat the rain and got some views on the top. We headed down need trail for some new trails and it was quite nice. There are few and far between blazes. We took a left on Ginny pond trail and followed it along until we are a little confused when we got to the snowmobile trail and took a right and saw that before the snowmobile bridge it was flooded most likely by beavers. We then headed back up in there and write believing it was the bypass during Highwater which it was it it was flagged the hallway. We tried walking back to the bridge from the other side but it was still flooded so we are not able to make it to the snowmobile bridge. We got to the road and walk to the road until we hit bearcamp River trail and we were swarmed by mosquitoes. We then took photos of Beede Falls which one they’re quite nice and saw Paul cave and made it back to the car while it started to rain. Nice trails and I will be back to hit more of Ginny pond at a later time.
