Date of Hike
Date of Hike: Sunday, September 20, 2020
Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: The first part of Magalloway Road is decent and no logging trucks were seen on a Sunday. The “bad mile” after the sharp right turn was slow and difficult in my low clearance vehicle, and the rest of it is still challenging for lcv’s.

Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: None 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: The Coot Trail is quite an experience: steep, eroded, muddy, and rocky (some solid, some loose). The mud was well set up on a dry day but is likely “slicker than goose poop” as my late friend Dan would say, during or after a rain. It was worth it for variety’s sake but once was enough. Bobcat Trail is very nice comparatively. Many blowdowns have been cut but some walk/duck/crawl unders remain on Bobcat. 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Have fun guys and bring water. Be extra careful at the lookouts, which have steep dropoffs.  
Bugs
Bugs: It’s getting too cold for most.

Comments
Comments: The views from the fire tower and outlooks are spectacular. There aren’t many places where you can see three states and a neighboring country.
