 | Comments: |
A little redlining to pick up TCT and a piece of GPT. Easy walking the whole way, which is good as I'm dealing with a knee issue. Trails are mostly dry except for the upper part of TCT which is wet. Nice views from the gravel bank 0.6 mi. up the trail. Limited views from the end of the maintained trail.
From the cairn, I continued up the unofficial path, which is wet and overgrown in places. It appears to be a continuation of the old logging road before veering off to become a footpath. I followed it up to a point where it became very overgrown and steeper, where I turned back. My brain wanted to explore, but I was also being mindful of the knees.
When I returned to the camp clearing, there were two other folks there. Quiet trails out here today, only saw a handful of people. |
