Comments
Comments: Everything in the Notch was dry, so there was no slipping on the rocks. This was great fun. Not as tough as I expected. Great views from the top of Mahoosuc Arm. Driving in and out on Success Pond Road was 20 miles of hard, relentless gravel washboard. Worst I ever saw, but any car can make it.
