Trails were broken out by someone on the 14th, but not the Engine Hill bushwack. Despite a recorded track, our group could not find it and muddled around in the woods for an hour before returning to Rocky Branch trail. I hope whoever is there next can break it out properly. Because of the failed bushwhack, a lateish start, and frigid temperatures we decided to turn around about a mile from the Davis path rather than hike out in the dark for several hours. A beautiful day in the woods. |
