 | Comments: |
It rained briefly today, so my boots were soaked from plowing through the wet ferns, but it was all worth it. I had planned to take the trail maybe all the way to Cabot and back, but miscalculated the mileage and got a late start. Great to finally hit the Weeks anyway - what a lovely stroll through the ferns, eating raspberries along the way. |
