| Comments: |
Took a long meander through the always lovely randolph trail system. There were some blows downs along most of the trails (to be expected after Mondays storm), but not impossible to get around. Any bigger stuff that wasn't frozen to the ground I moved off of the trail. The one MAJOR thing I did run into was the bridge that spans Bee Line trail, its a few hundred feet down river. I was able to get across further upstream, but it was slightly sketchy. I didn't see a single soul the entire hike, not even when I was cutting through the Appalachia Parking lot. |
