![]() ![]() It turns out he really does listen to me. I was also super proud that my “training” for him paid off. We went over the mistakes and how to avoid them next time. Once he got to me, he said he had somehow missed the sign for Route 219 and instead kept going straight (turns out my Mom almost missed it was well). It wasn’t long before I saw his bright red raincoat (another reason we wear bright-colored rain gear while hiking). So I leaned against a tree about halfway up, waiting for him to get to me. He called again, “Mom, I am good, found my mistake”. I sent my parents on ahead to the truck as I went running back up the mountain to find him. ![]() Turns out all it took was my 18-year-old son telling me he took a wrong turn and was alone…in the rain…in the woods….lol. That day, I learned I could probably set speed records running uphill, in the rain where everything was muddy and slick. Side note, I am not a runner I hate running. I am turning back and retracing my footsteps as I think I know what happened. It was Star Blazer Um Mom I think I took a wrong turn. However, my phone rang right as we were about to get on the logging trail. Star Blazer was nowhere in sight so we assumed he must already be back at the truck (he is a fast hiker). I eventually caught up with my Mom and Step-Dad on the trail before the logging road. I was the last to leave as I wanted to make sure to get plenty of pictures and video. Star Blazer took off before the rest of us. Thankfully, we all had our rain jackets with us. Instead, look for HP in red painted on trees and rocks.Īs we started heading back down it started to rain. ![]() If you are looking for traditional blazes to guide you, just know there are none. Once you reach the top, you will find picnic tables, benches, a logbook to sign, and a beautiful view. If you park in the dirt lot, it will be directly next to you. If you park along the highway, the trailhead will be up the hill across the highway from you. I would just park along the highway to be safe. I would not attempt it without a 4WD especially if there is any chance of rain. Honestly, if that spot really is a parking area, it could only fit 2 cars max and would be hard to get out of. I believe it is part of the logging trail, so may not be legal to park there. The parking area is actually along the highway, although I also saw what could be a parking area off of the highway, right before the start of the trail (see my video below for a better understanding). I was excited that both she and my step-dad also wanted to hike it with Bubbanator aka Star Blazer and I. I decided to knock this puppy out over the summer while I was visiting my Mom.
