When you are hiking a marked trail and you come upon a stack of sticks laying across the trail look around for a trail marker. There are times when a marked trail will be changed or a trail will follow an old tote road for a while and then turn and the tote road keeps going straight and people not paying attention will miss the turn on the marked trail. Trail maintainers will lay brush down across the trail to stop this from happening. There are a couple of these at Pilot Knob Ridge that I have installed, but every year people will step right over them and walk out somewhere where they shouldn't be. Remember to always keep an eye on the trail markers. If you don't see one for a bit stop and find the last one and look for the next marker before you continue.
Great day to be in the woods. Cool, sunny and just plain pleasant. I check on the Pilot Knob Moose Letterbox and it was dry and waiting for long hikers to find it.
