 | Comments: |
A (very) quiet Thanksgiving hike to wrap up some trailwork on the Elwell Trail between the Back 80 Trail and Mowglis Mountain.
We finished some brushing and removed a half-dozen good-sized blowdowns. This section of trail is in good shape for winter; four remaining blowdowns can wait until there's better, snowshoe-able snow cover on the trail.
Beaver pond network visible from Elwell Trail viewpoint ledge is probably twice the size it's been for the past several years -- definitely active. |
