I haven’t hiked much in the past couple of weeks so I am building back up. I did Squak Mountain to Central Peak, taking the trail up and the South Access Road down (see track below).
At about 1,600 feet I saw a couple of tiny little blobs of snow. First of the season. I know what is coming.
I stopped by the old Bullitt Fireplace, all that is left of a local prominently rich family’s weekend cabin.
Apparently Mrs. Bullitt didn’t like the place and Bullitt wound up donating thousands of acres of the land he owned on Squak to the public. And so we get to hike there through the forest:
It was a bit less than 6 miles, about 1,800 feet of elevation gain – moderate but I will ramp it up just a bit on Friday, and even more next week.
