 | Comments: |
Tremendous conditions right now on Drakes Brook Trail and Sandwich Mountain Trail with the very dry conditions. Was able to clear 27 drainages of leaves and also stopped to look at the artifacts of the old logging camp, which can be found about .1 or .2 after the Sandwich Range Wilderness sign, on the right side of the trail, heading up. |
