Another Day, Another Trail

It seems that Wayne has waterfall hunting in his blood and so we set out on another adventure looking for what one Vernon resident called, "the high falls."  This time we entered the area via the Red trail in Black Gum Swamps because Wayne had noted on his map that a dotted line extended from that trail.

So after promising Ginny last weekend that I wouldn't take her back again, I put on her harness and we hiked into Roaring Brook wildlife management area.  For my part, this time I was a bit better prepared for what was ahead. - Norma Manning

Preparation is key

Plenty of mud on the logging road that connects to the Red trail

Ginny demonstrating that a hiker should always stay center on the trail even in wet conditions

Can you spot the trail marker in front of the pine?

Wayne ensuring his gear stays dry when crossing Roaring Brook.

We didn't find the high falls this trip but there will be another day.

I wish that all trails were this clearly marked!
