    Caribou Valley (Pond) Road

    Excellent "trail angel" work!! When you do the Speck Pond area you will be on the trails in my region and hope they are in good shape for you...and good work on the AT corridor, as I used to maintain the Mahoosuc from Centennial over to Trident Col so I know how rugged that area is...!!!
