 | Comments: |
Forecasted sunny day never happened, so trails stayed wet and muddy. First half of Clark Brook Trail was excellent (good footing and well drained), but upper half was wet and slippery and very brushy (practically a herd path, but easy to follow). Plenty of mud on the Long Trail between Roosevelt and the shelter. |
