|
 | Date of Hike: |
Saturday, August 27, 2022 |
|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Room for several cars at trailhead on Hardy Country Road. Hardy Country Road is becoming a bit eroded in some spots -- moreso than we recall over the past several years. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Nothing of note. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails are generally in good shape. Carter-Gibbs Trail and Elwell Trail are a bit brushy in just a few sections -- beech saplings and hobblebush -- but nothing requiring urgent attention. Carter-Gibbs has two small duck-under blowdowns (Silky saw) and one large walk-around/crawl-over beech tree (E-saw), all within a couple tenths of a mile north of the second water crossing (prior to the climb-out switchback). |

Nothing (oddly). |

 | Comments: |
Quiet stroll in the woods with no one else but us and some crabby red squirrels.
Rope on climb-up ledge on Carter-Gibbs was helpful; recent rain made that steep section a tad slippery. (Rope is in good shape.)
New and updated signage near various trail intersections makes sense.
Prominent (and recent) property for-sale sign near the trailhead.
