 | Comments: |
It rained last night so all the grass and ferns got me drenched first thing but my clothes dried up well as time went on. It was foggy early then it was sun and clouds with temps from 60 to 80, hot and humid. I saw 1 hiker and 2 dogs on the Bulge and about 16 people hanging out at the cabin and viewpoint. I tried to hike to the Cabot Spring but that trail has not been maintained in many years and the branches block the path about 200 feet from the Kilkenny Ridge Trail. This trail should be closed and not listed in any trail guide (my 2 cents). Another great day to hike. |
