a favorite trail of mine

a favorite trail of mine in the ossipee mountains is the gorilla trail. the gorilla trail goes from mount shaw to mount flag.

parts of it are very grassy and remind me of the south a little bit.















it is also really rocky.
















it was illegal to use the trail last year because it got closed by the government. it is now open again.

welcome to my first blog post.

my interest in the ossipees started many years ago visiting the area as a young person. i have hiked many of the trails, and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

the ossipees are not part of the national forest. i have seen some troubling things happening. while there is a lot of conservation going on there is also a lot of destruction.

i hope to share with you photos of the good things, as well as the bad things.
