 | Comments: |
Nice midday loop in the Belknaps. Trails were generally dry with an occasional mud pit. Very brushy on the old logging roads where the wildflowers have grown in. Some spots we couldn't even see the foot bed. Much cooler out there today with a light wind and no sun. Starting to see some leaves changing here and there. |
