Gordon Pond could use a brushing by the powerlines, and potentially a trail sign if the trail has officially moved to the top of Sundance Road. Also note it was only marked fresh in upper sections, AT purposes I assume. |

| Comments: |
I enjoyed this silly route more than I thought I might. Gordon Pond was really fun, and so was figuring out the "boulder problems" going up to Wolf. Beautiful views coming down KRT to 112, worth the crazy descent. Blog post below as per usual |
