 | Comments: |
Lots of the same today- thick leaf cover on somewhat loose rocks. Trails were all well marked, sans Italian trail at times. Plenty of service but download the GPS track anyways to make it easier.
Minor ice in spots, but only in very shallow pools. Changing soon!
Massive blowdown across entire trail on Turtleback mtn trail, just up-trail from the Oak Hill Connector |
