Audubon Trail

6.15.11   Nance Jo, McBob, George and Earl  What a nice hike.  Even though it was thundering around us, we remained completely dry.  This was a two way trip.  On the way up Audubon Mtn, we encountered quite a few trees down blocking the path.  As you can see in the photos, we spent some time clearing the smaller trees and branches.  This allowed us to catch our breath as this part of the trail would be considered moderate.  We did see Mr. Box Turtle.  It seems that we often see box turtles near the bottom of the trail and this time was no exception.  When we reached the top of the trail we had lunch on the Audubon platform and enjoyed the shade and view.  On the way back down we did some trimming and enjoyed the scenery.  The distance was 5.1 miles and I would rate the hike as moderate.  For a few pictures click on the Audubon tab above or click here.
