Elsie went hiking February 2, 2015 14.5 miles 3,250 feet gained
Jaunt in the rain on the Bell Creek Trail. Very lovely and glad to have explored this area. A few notes: the Oneonta Trail has washed out and there are closure signs; like the good hikers we are, we obviously ignored them; and the river ford bypass trail just before the third bridge is in great shape - thank you fellow maintenance hikers and trip reporters PH.org!! (But there might need to be more pink trail tape and spray paint all over the trees to make it more obvious. Or, build a starbucks right there.)
Trail Talk
That's a great hike! Even (esp?) in the rain! There was a post just yesterday that the trail had re-opened past the slide, too. I cannot believe that pinkish stuff!!! OMG... Is that for the ford bypass? I mean, not that a pitstop wouldn't be nice there, and all, but, wow, seriously?!?
Heh, attempt ^^^ at comedy FAIL. :-)
