 | Comments: |
My first time on Austin Brook Trail. A nice trail on old logging roads and in the woods but the landowner has expanded the logging road system and the trail follows new roads and skidder trails for a bit, north of the Dryad Fall Trail. Keep an eye out for signs and blue blazes to stay on the trail. A.T. is in good shape, I clipped back some brush and branches as I hiked. All blowdowns have been cleared. I saw 9 hikers on the A.T. The rain overnight stopped at about 6 AM, cloudy, foggy and windy on Mt. Success, not much for views today. The sky cleared in the afternoon. Another enjoyable day on the trail. |
