Great hike along the BFT. Saw a timber rattler, massive garter, and some smaller snakes along the route. 3 creek crossings and all were deeper than anticipated but not an issue. Great views and minimal people.

Eastern Redbuds were in bloom and the walking trail’s path has been extended. As of 2026 there are interpretive signs that tell a story, starting on the northern trailhead. New view of the creek as well.

Nice foggy hike up to the top of Mt. Tom with Jax. Hit up the vista, but it was a rainy, foggy day with a clouded-in view. Nice to get outside for some exercise.

First hike out to the graffiti bridge in quite a while. Started in the south by the main parking lot - gate was closed for the season. Lots of new graffiti to see and the bridge seemed clear of dirt from the flooding that occurred 2 years ago.

Haven't hiked this service road in a few years but took our first hike of 2026 up with Jax. In 2025 the road was updated to accommodate logging so instead of tall grasses and uneven ruts, the trail is now mostly large stone gravel, wide, and includes some obstructed views during the winter.
