 | Comments: |
The trails were free of obstructions. Rocks and ledges were wet on the Beaver Brook trail but I did not slip.
The Beaver Brook approach to Mt Moosilauke is the most attractive route but may be too challenging to those not in condition.
Had a nice conversation with Steve Martin who was cleaning drainage ditches on the Beaver Brook trail. Met many AT hikers including two Germans, one Korean, and one Australian.
There were two campers who situated their campsite contiguous to the Beaver Brook trail and too close to the brook. |
