On this ridge in this area there were so many large (one- to three-foot-thick) blown-down birches, aspens, and spruces (with their scratchy bark) that I started going a little nutty and very sweaty trying to climb my way over and under them to make any progress up the ridge. I soon gave up and returned to the placid waters of Merritt Lane, happy to continue canoeing instead. A lesson learned.Ben Kilpelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12875096659365405390noreply@blogger.com
