Comments
Comments: Trails were mostly dry with a few slightly damp ledges. Lots of slippery oak leaves.

Mt. Shaw Trail may be tough to follow initially due to the logging that took place a few years ago and subsequent lack of blazes. Tate Mountain Trail and Banana Trail can be vague around a few of the ledges.

Mostly cloudy afternoon with mild temperatures. Late fall foliage remains in the lower elevations.
