 | Comments: |
All trails well maintained, and although lightly used are easily followed. One note is that the decent off of Cotton (to the north) is slippery due to the number and depth of pine needles underfoot. Additionally, the Old Highway has significant leaves covering the many washed out areas, making spotting rocks and holes difficult. Pretty cool redlining day, and being able to visit to the 2 old graveyards along the way. |
