Following the Long Path Thru a Clear Cut ...
There is a long path marker on the haul road and buffer between clear cut zones, but following it through all that logging trash was a pain, as all the markers where gone, and trail was rough. I lost the trail, then later found it again. Yet I decided to turn back, when I found the rest of the trail was all grown over and the markers where faded. A lot of the land up on Huntersfield Mountain Range is private, and I did not want to be trespassing.
