Sunday's long Trap Hills hike

Oh ya.  On Sunday me and my pack headed west to hike the North Country Trail off of Norwich Rd.

I smell fish!  It must be lunch time?

After we ate, we finally get a moving. This trail head is at FR 400.

We did find a few logs across this section.

Maybe 30 of them.  No sawyers to be had on this section?

Still a very, very nice section as you'll see in these photos.

This red squirrel has not dealt a trail mutt before!

Oh this is pretty-N-green.

A hallowed one?

It was warm for a winter dog so I'm getting a drink and cooling off here.

RR tracks!

Where are we now?

There.

Fall is the best time to see the NCT.

Getting a little artsy here.

Maybe we need to come back with our pole saw?

Finally, we arrived at the Hacking site.

See the RR trails snake through the valley.

This was a glorious spot to take a rest.

I heard friendly hikers coming!

Oh ya, you can both touch me.  They are from Chicago.
 I love them!

Someone's had lunch here.

I recommended this creek...I'm not sure why they insist on that silly filter.

Days are getting shorter and the sun was peeking through the canopy here.

Tank Creek bridge. Bears and porkies have been nibbling on it.

The Tunnel of Love.

We spied a very old sign at a corner.

Late in the day and nearly back.
Here we're looking over to the Hacking Site.
Does it get any prettier than this!
