The beginning of the blue trail was hard to find as we did not realize it was past the 3 houses on the closed winter road. Then after we came to Wiggins Rock, there were orange blazes that continues in thicker woods that lead to the blue trail but to find out later we needed to drop back down to the road and follow it to the blue trail.(unsure of the orange blazes we followed. |

Well we went out in the brisk day and the cold was not as bad as you would think. I went out for some redlines and thought we would grab ingalls but Ed was breaking trail that was at least 2 feet deep. The blue trail we went up and back on so it is quite a nice path now. The wiggins trail on the other hand we got all the way to wiggins rock and then we followed orange blazes out from the top of the rock back to the blue trail which we found later a sign down the trail stating that is the start of the wiggins trail. Not sure what the orange blazes were from the wiggins rock, also if there was a sign to state it was the spur then we would have retraced our steps but oh well. Ed's beard was frozen and my eyelashes were. The sky was cloudy and therefore no views were seen. I will be back another day for more in the shelburne area. |
