Comments
Comments: I walked long pond rd. which took 1hr. and thirty five min. each way. there is a great view of long pond and black mt. along the way. I saw moose tracks and heard a howling something in the distance. now for the bushwack, it was terrible! I did this the first time 7 yrs. ago from the east and it was much better. this route from the west was full of thick spruce and blowdowns and wet footing with very slow going. I now need some skin grafts. I wanted to do this for a while so now it is done and never again! the long road walks were a pleasure by comparison. I was the third signer at the canister since October.
