 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Soon after we turned onto Faraway Connector there was a blowdown. Our group paused to clear a blowdown across the trail β team effort at its finest. While the main trunk still requires a saw, the path is now significantly more navigable thanks to our work. |

 | Comments: |
Trail was mostly dry with the exception of the section after the Upper Bridle Path junction where Oak Ridge Cutoff becomes a mud pit for about 0.25 mile.
We were fortunate to have near-perfect weather β sunny skies, warm temperatures in the mid-70s, and just enough breeze to keep things comfortable. |
