Much lesser used trail.  As of 2015, trail is cleaned up and most blowdowns removed.  The two remaining are easy to step over.
Much lesser used trail.  The passage through the storm damage from Winter 2009 had been made, but many blowdowns to step over/under.  Another pass by the chain saw gang would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, a narrow dirt path on the north side and a former road on the south end.
