The Hike 
Back to Burns Hill for some mandatory woods time before marching band! Not much to say about this hike. It was a little warm out and the leaves were starting to change, it was quite lovely! I took a few spider webs to the face and there were some bugs in the low-lying stretches. I did a second lap, got just a little sweaty, and enjoyed an occasional breeze. I spooked a deer in the first low-lying stretch which was fun, and noticed some faded blue blazes in the same area with new pink flagging tape - maybe they're planning to revive an older trail? I had the "hey let's go!" song from My Neighbor Totoro stuck in my head for most of this. A lovely break from reality before band!

Step-by-Step

- Cross power cut, turn right at loop split.
