CDT Segment 86 Spring 2025

I returned to my adopted segment of the CDT, arriving late at night, and car-camping at the trailhead at the north end of the segment, near Surprise Tank. But first I stopped for pie, since I was going through Pie Town.

Wind buffeted the car through the night. The next day I plan to clear some downed trees and branches in an area that usually needs cleanup after winter. But I cannot spend a second night, because a storm is coming, and I need to head out before it gets bad.

I cleared 31 blowdowns, starting at Surprise Tank, the trailhead at the north of the segment, and going south about 6.5 miles.

On the return path back to the trailhead, a snow flurry commences.
