Couch&Panther 8/19
On jmagary44’s intel I decided to go back to the Santa’s after being there over 3 weeks ago. That day I hit Santa and it was a mud fest. Today it was like any other typical trail in the ADK’s. Minimal mud and the bog heading to Couch is easily passable. There is quite a bit of blowdown throughout the hike. The bugs were non existent due to the cooler temps (44F at the start). As usual the terrain is rough and the trails are narrow at times. Pants, long sleeves, safety glasses and trekking poles came in handy today. As always be safe, leave no trace and happy hiking to all!!!
