 | Comments: |
The foliage is changing and despite the cloudy skies the woods were full of color. I decided to go north to south this time and on the way back followed the original route of Cedar Brook Tr. The mud pits were dry and all four of the now bypassed crossing were easy. It was a colorful alternative to the new section of trail that passes through the softwoods.
