 | Comments: |
Well, it's Owl's Head. Plenty of Mud, blowdowns, and one heck of an adventure. Brutus was no joke, and one of the hardest things I've done in a very long time. Black Pond BW is easy enough to follow [NOT a bushwhack], definitely would recommend on days where the water crossings would be higher. |
