| Comments: |
First day of three days of section hiking and Liz claimed it was a good 21+ miles. Good footing and pretty woods all the way and good section to make time. Devil's Gulch was super and reminded me of Ice Gulch & Devil's Dens back home in NH. Oh the last haul from there up and over a steep bump and down to Rte 118 seemed like punishment since we thought we were almost done but one more thing. Perhaps the most forgiving section of the whole Long Trail. |
