Notes

Part of the trail follows farm fields along NY 12B north of Hamilton.

Up at the Fenner Wind Farm. 

Dolly Sods Road, straight as an arrow part of the way through Dolly Sods, reminds me of a true wilderness, like you might in Alaska or Idaho. It is always terribly washboard, because of the high elevation means it often dry. Strangely enough, parts of Dolly Sods are quite soggy because storms hit the east side of the Allegheny Front quite hard but the actual top of the front is quite dry as water quickly runs off it.

West Virigina is a coal mining state, but historiclaly and today. From here, you can see GOB piles -- garbage overburden piles -- from old coal mines on North Mountain, just north of the North Potamac gap.
