Photos and GPS Track

You can see a slide show of the trip along with the GPS track on EveryTrail.com

Completed the Trip

Made it back to my car at about 8:45am. All was well, the car was there and not touched.

Here is a summary of the trip distances:
Day 1: 10.4 miles
Day 2: 9.5
Day 3: 9.3
Day 4: 1.4

Total for the trip 30.6 miles

I did all 30.6 miles barefoot, the blog is not call barefoot trails for nothing. I only received one small (1/4 inch) cut to the top of my foot. Most hikers would have more than that in blisters. I also have a raw spot on my right shoulder, about the size of a quarter, were the backpack strap goes.

I will post pictures later.

Woke to a Red Sun Rise

Last day all that is left is to walk the couple miles to the car. I had a great time but somehow John Denver's "Take Me Home Country Roads" is stuck in my head.

Dry Reservoir Shelter

This shelter is also nice with a raised wooden floor. Buggy though retired to my bug net at 7. This shelter is off the trail by 100 yard or so and behind a hill. It would have been very hard to find without the GPS. But I had already save the shelters location so the GPS took me right to it.

Day 3

The first part of the day was walking on dirt and paved roads. Fortunately only part of Hell Hollow Rd I needed to walk as the trail took a right into the woods. The trail returned to the road later but only to cross it. After that point the trail was forest walking. There was a nice section next to Lowden Brook. It would even have a waterfall if there was more water.

Because I misses the trail to Pharisee rock I had extra time. I took some long breaks at MT Misery Picnic area and on the top of MT Misery.

Another Beautiful Day on MT Misery

It is also very windy and the hawks are soaring on the up draft as the wind hit the cliff.

Completed the Loop

I completed the loop ahead of schedule because I missed the side trail to Pharisee Rock. I have been resting at the picnic area and filled up on water. Will continue shortly.
