 | Comments: |
This was a two-fer day. Finished the red lining of the Blue Job State Forest as well as gaining a check mark for the Fire Tower. First time we've visited this family-friendly forest. I recommend doing the Fire Tower Loop in a Counter-clockwise direction as the trail is pretty rough even if it wasn't icy from the rains. All ice flows were easily walked around. The views from Little Blue Job are magnificent to the North, East and Westerly. At the end of the Scruton Trail (gated) there is room for about four vehicles if carefully parked so as not to block the gate. |
