 | Comments: |
Rocky Branch in great shape to height of land..Took bushwack out ..maybe a little low..real wet at the beginning but came out on just below Isolation bushwack around crossing 3 and 4..While there was plenty of mud lots of good trail. Rock hop from the upper crossing to the campsites,,duck and step overs from there..Davis Path in good shape and shows evidence of some brushing. Took brushwack back ..went higher and it was dry and fine with established paths here and there long the way..stayed in the glades a little too long and dropped down through some rough stuff to the height of land rock...Nice day out..fall is coming to this area |
