This hike is what you make it. I really enjoyed the time outside today. The only issue I had was on the slide going up Owl’s Head Path when I put my hand on a snake who was enjoying its time in the sun. The snake didn’t seem to be concerned but I may have lost my cool a bit!!!
Bridge repair on Lincoln Woods Trail is underway (1.8 miles in) but the bridge crew is hard at it getting it back online. Easy rock hopping to the side. Friendly bridge crew - keep up the good work. |
