Descending to Dismal Ponds Outlet Stream Five Ponds Wilderness

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gBwYLdGmew

From the top of a ridge northeast of Huckleberry Pond, the descent to the Dismal Pond outlet ensues in the southern Five Ponds Wilderness of the western Adirondack Park. This video is the third part of my bushwhack from between Bear and Diana Ponds to Willys Lake on the second day of my trip searching for breeding bird activity for the New York State Breeding Bird Atlas III. • If you enjoy this video, please click the like button and/or subscribe so you do not miss any of my newest hiking and/or bushwhacking adventures in the Five Ponds Wilderness and beyond. • Note: This video is in a raw form, that is, it has not been edited, annotated or altered in any form.
