Comments
Comments: Soil was mostly dry on the trails today, but some of the rocks/slabs were slippery in the woods. Slabs on North Percy proper were dry and not an issue.

A few blueberries on South Percy, but well past peak. Still some good blueberries on the top of North Percy.

Hazy and warm today, but a breeze made it bearable up high. Hobblebush is changing color. Nice swimming hole just below the Percy Peaks Trail trailhead on the other side of the road.
