Roger's trough.
It seemed that the trail continued beyond the trough. There was orange tape in the trees, and I thought that was somebody's way of marking the trail. Everything that looked like a trail went off into the brush or just petered out, though. I kept wandering around, looking for the trail. I finally decided to go in the direction that I thought it went, to see if I could find it again. I found more rabbit trails. I also came across a beehive. It was too hot to try to outrun killer bees (if that's what they were), so I gave it a wide berth. I finally got to a place that I couldn't go any further in the direction I wanted to go without pushing through a lot of brush. I was hot and feeling a little wobbly, so decided to call it quits. I headed back to the area of the trough on a slightly different route than I had taken out, and guess what I found. I knew it was the trail because it was well worn. I had to follow it for a little way so I would be able to find it the next time I was out there.
The trail through a woodsy area.
There were some cairns marking the trail, but with all the trees, bushes, and grass, the cairns were hard to find. I don't see how anybody would know to turn right where you are supposed to turn right. I have some ideas for finding the trail more quickly next time I lose it, though.
I didn't see as many animals on the drive back this time as I did on Friday. A deer ran across the road in front of me, but that was about it. Oh, I also saw a collared lizard. Might have been a female eastern collared lizard. I didn't get a very good look at it, and it ran away as I got the camera out.
As always, the view was great.
