I did a little impromptu trail work today on OHT section 3 between the Cherry Bend trail head and Hare Mountain. I cleared a couple small trees and lots of little branches from the corridor. I left one large tree for someone with a chain saw.
My first backpacking trip on the OHT was on this section, but we went east from the Morgan Fields trail head so today I saw the rest of the section. I had lunch at the picnic table on top of the mountain – turkey jerky and a granola bar. Of course, there were some great views up there.
I think a hawk decided to skip the turkey and have a little woodpecker instead.
