 | Comments: |
Went in from the back (Bartlett/Conway) side today. Didn't see another soul until we hit Eastman. The less-traveled part of Slippery Brook Trail was surprisingly well-maintained. It must get more traffic than it saw today (just us). It's a nice alternative way into Eastman and the Baldfaces. |
