Comments
Comments: Trails are in good shape, overall. Well up on Manning, where the trail comes out of the trees to an open ledge area, there is a spot where we went straight up to the ledges, which led to nowhere. Backtracking, we found that spot where we should have taken a sharp right. I left a small branch across the wrong path, but I don't know how much of a deterrent it will be.

Nice cool fall day for this, with bright blue sky and still good foliage to view. Good outing with six of us OTHH.
