Should this be on the NH500 highest? Maybe drop Cleveland since owners do not want visitors and add this one right across the street.
Dragging family members on another short excursion in the woods. Walked about 0.1 mile up FR181; looks like no one else has been on this trail recently. Turned SE where we had to cross the small open water ditch to start Bushwhacking. Initially a lot of small growth to work through, it seems like this area may be wet in other seasons. As the steepness increased, the woods became a bit more open. we summited a easterly peak before heading west to the slightly higher RHP. Signed in, and left a few more pieces of paper since it was running low (although, this peak does not see many visitors). Followed our snowshoe tracks back down. Entire hike was in 6-8" of heavy, sticky snow, but the going wasn't too bad. And it only took us just over an hour. Nice views through the trees towards Scarface, and Garfield, plus more.
