|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
There is one small stream a short way up, and it was an easy walk-across on rocks. The other stream is crossed by a nice wood bridge. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The trail is in good shape, with painted blazes here and there down in the woods to guide the way in a couple of places that made us think a few seconds as to which way the trail went. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
None this trip |
|
 | Bugs: |
No bugs at all. I suspect the cool weather (low to mid 50s) and light breeze kept them at bay. |

 | Comments: |
Another nice outing with the OTHH, and again a large group turning out for this one. I should mention that in the open ledge areas up high, there are some areas with wetness on the rocks that were slippery, and even a few places apparently dry were making us step cautiously. I imagine this part of the trail would pose real problems in wet weather. |
