 | Comments: |
OK, my first time here - just looked up places I hadn't been and this came up. Delightful trails, minimal labeling but I followed yellow tags counter-clockwise and eventually dumped onto Pickard Rd on the east side, then found the other entrance and reentered the area. Trails didn't appear to get much use, which I get this time of year with the bugs and all. |
