Comments
Comments: this hike started out as a comedy of errors.... but once i got myself to the right spot it all worked out. the trail itself is well-blazed in light blue blazes and the first two miles follows the jeep trail that is a bit soggy in spots, but not terrible. once the trail leaves the jeep road, it's soggy, rocky, eroded, and hasn't seen a lot of foot traffic. this was my first redlining hike where i drove longer than i hiked. won't make that mistake again. derp.
