 | Comments: |
Trails were generally dry with the exception of one large puddle remaining on Brook Trail.
Rock Cave Trail has become even more vague than it was a few years ago. Trail leaves the Brook Trail where it first approaches the brook, opposite a tree with a red and yellow blaze. It eventually straddles the state park boundary, but otherwise is herd pathy at best. Nice route to avoid weekend crowds, though.
Lots of blueberries on the upper Rock Cave Trail, as well as in the open areas heading toward the back of Mt. Major.
Very nice morning weatherwise (though hot) - much nicer than the forecasted weather apocalypse. Steady breeze made things bearable. |
