 | Comments: |
this was a lot of work to hike 2 trails I'd never been on.(the 2 brook trails) the slippery rocks and many mud patches kept me on guard. I met many AT hikers on Garfield ridge and more than 60 all together. the Garfield ridge trail is one of the toughest I've ever hiked on. at the end of this 15 miler I was beat. pizza and beer tonight! |
