Heiss Mtn. 2.9.19

This was a nice day for a hike from the Heiss Mtn  Trailhead to the Little Possum Creek bridge and back. The weather started off in the low 30's with a little breeze. Temperatures climbed to the low 40's by the end of the hike.

This hike is probably moderately strenuous with the exception  of the 30 minute 650 foot climb out of the Little Possum Creek gorge to the adjacent  pine covered mountaintop on the way back. I would say this segment is very strenuous. Today's hike distance was 7.5 miles.

We had 6 hikers today including 3 visiting hikers that we hope will hike with us again soon.

We lunched at the turn around point which was the Little Possum Creek  bridge.

Today we saw two large tree blowdowns within about 0.3 miles of the Little Possum Creek bridge and one pine tree blowdown ( logs only) in the large pine thicket at the Perkins Point mountaintop.
