A Return to the Mesh

In the fall of 2021, I hiked a bit of the "Mesh" - this time Kevin joined me. It was a very enjoyable hike and its always a thrill to see the old Nike Missile stuff...

Continuing on to the Abandoned Nike Control Area

Kevin using app to determine tree type:
Beech

Soon the trail turned into an old paved road and there were crumbled cement block ruins all around

Berries everywhere (Russian Olive Tree) - too bad its an invasive plant

Steps!

The way back out was very scenic and varied!
