White Trail Blazing - Pequonnock Valley

Kevin and I spent more than 6 hours on Sat re-blazing the White Trail. Most of the blazes were old and faded and -- in many places --  too far apart . A renewal was long overdue.

This totally wrong blazing (ARRGH) at the top of the hill where the Red Trail branches off was corrected to White and Red.

Now on the White Trail the blazes are, once again, easy to see.

Check out the paper factory :-)  -- a birch bark tree!

  A small deer took interest in our work!

I swear there's an eye on this tree and it was staring at me!!! :-)

A quick stop at the repositioned boardwalk in the swampland (formerly know as the Serengeti!) reveal the solid footings in the clear and fast flowing water,

The locals trail gnomes did a great job on the new bridge crossing the Cooper Creek (White Trail)

Kevin moved a strange white barrel out off the riverbed. Labels says "Fluid Detector Leak - Natural Gas"

  It was a sad sight to see Coyote Crossing sans bridge :-(

  But the new White Blazes really pop out.

We'll be back in the spring to touch up the other colored blazes. Its frustrating but the blue needs a brighter Blue color - the currently blue used really is dull and hard to distinguish.
