Several trees down along the Rocky Branch and Isolation Trails. None had branches and some looked like hey had been there for a while. Perhaps to add to the "wilderness experience". Lots of muddy spots and the majority of the hike is a long rock hop. |

Saw a green handkerchief hanging from a branch on the way up but it was gone on the way down. |

| Comments: |
We made great time, 5 hr 50 min round trip! There was nothing steep on this hike, just alot of miles stepping on rocks and roots. Both bushwhacks look to have a well defined tread way wearing in. The first one on Rocky Branch Tr looks to start at the FPA sign .25 miles before the first crossing. |
