Redlining two small hikes. Pine Mtn was well worth the hike, but good luck trying to figure out where that first little loop starts and ends. No signs. Probably easier to do what I did and decipher that little loop on the way back down, because the top of that loop is more obvious than the bottom, and then it's just a matter of walking down a couple herd paths to pop out in one of two fields, ie, you can use the process of elimination because at that point, there's just nowhere else to go. I probably walked 1 mile to make sure I got a 1/4 mile loop completed, and my redlining conscious was still nagging away, "But how do you know you really did it?" "How do you KNOW???".
I'll be glad to finish this range so me and my redlining conscious can get divorced. Almost done now.. |
