Parked at the Boy Scout Camp, I went to admin office and they didn't seem that much interested in me since I was just out for a day hike. They were too busy handling hundreds of Scouts that were checking in for the week. |

 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
There is a big blowdown across the Anna-Stage Road Trail (Blue) just as you start to go back up after going over the bump that overlooks the swamp (that's a swell outlook on top of that bump). Trails well blazed and exceptionally clear. There is no trail head sign Mack-Ridge Trail (Orange) but it was easy to find since I was looking for it, trail is well blazed. |

This was a good rugged loop with lots of ripe blueberries everywhere! Fine vistas and nice woods. I only saw three people on the trails the whole hike--three people from PA sitting on top of Shannon. The Mack-Ridge might be my new favorite trail. I took a short bushwhack to the top of the 1644' summit bump--truly blueberry heaven. Anyone know what the big boulder nearing the bottom of the Mack-Ridge Trail is named--it is something Rock but the paint is too faded away to read. |
