Report:
The day turned out to be challenging. 12 hikers arrived at the trail head at 10:45 am. After making a slight left off the road to the trail, we encountered a 7 foot high fence which encroached on the trail. After paralleling the fence at a slant, we decided to crawl under the fence to access the trail. That necessitated crawling back under to clear the fenced area. From that point to the end/lunch spot, we encountered no difficulties other than a small stream crossing. After lunch we again crossed the stream and walked on the road thus avoiding the fence. We then started our drive home but on 550 we encountered a traffic accident. With traffic backed-up for miles, we were essentially at a standstill for 2 hours. We arrived back at the center at 6:45, having alerted the center of our late ETA. Total hiking distance: 5.88 miles. Thank you Michelle, for driving and thank you to the group for being such good sports in having to crawl under the fence.
