Laurel was in so we did a bit of walking in the Tremont region.<\/p>\n

Lumber ridge is a new mile segment for her and a good little hill to pull on a nice, mid winter saturday.<\/p>\n

We gained about a thousand feet in 4 plus miles and decided to drop down the manway to Spruce Flats falls.\u00a0 It was the absolute right decision.<\/p>\n

Artifacts abound in this well worn trail.\u00a0 That didn’t used to be the case.\u00a0 Years back I felt like we were the only ones who ever trod in there.\u00a0 Here is a link to the last time I walked it.\u00a0http:\/\/www.southernhighlanders.com\/Spruce2010.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

Note the dead bear we encountered.<\/p>\n

Overall a wonderful, relaxing outing and here are the strava stats.<\/p>\n

Loads of fun.\u00a0 My friend Roger told me that the wolf introduction project, which failed greatly by the NPS in the 90s, happened along the Spruce Flats manway section.\u00a0 Interesting bit of knowledge. I would like to know how much was spent on that.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the manway is more like a highway now, I suppose the institute folks have beaten it sufficiently down.\u00a0 Seems as if a lot of new construction has occurred at the Institute with tent\/platform houses etc.<\/p>\n
