Planning
notes:
This is an
un-marked, un-maintained trail. It is
particularly easy to miss the cut off at bottom of mountain to return
to
village; when you hit the farm, you missed it.

Beautiful
clear day; good turn out. Most of the crowd had not
done this
hike before.
Who made the blood curdling scream from on top, to let the rest of us

three ladies were still up there?
This trail is obviously not maintained.

Route: Hiked from village access
out of
village to north; up old access road and up the mountain. Back same
way, until
very end, where we missed the turn and had to improvise.
