When I saw them I was entering the Brickwork using an unofficial trail.At the western edge of the Brickworks there is a boardwalk that crosses the western side of a large pond.(There are some water lillies there and often a large snapping turtle.) Just south of the boardwalk there is a small unofficial dirt trail that goes straight up the steep hill.The mink were crossing above an evergreen tree that grows half way up the hill beside the trail.I did not try to follow them because I was wearing shorts and there is lots of poison ivy on the hill.
