There was two other hikers staying at one of the campsites as well and we chatted for a bit before choosing our spot and setting up camp. The light was fading fast as we both set up our hammocks and did camp chores. Once finished setting up, I cooked dinner, a Mountain House Beef Stroganoff meal, that was quite tasty and filled me up nicely. I was hungry and wolfed it down pretty quick. Then it was a quiet night of conversation and looking at the stars. The temps were starting to drop and we decided to turn in around 10pm.
Once we crossed the road the rest of the hike went pretty quick. The trail goes past some old stone foundations and many stonewalls as it slowly climbs up Baldy Mtn. topping out at 1900 ft. Then it's a steady downhill to Tyringham Rd. There are no real views along this section of trail, it's just a nice walk through the woods. There are a few spots that are very rocky and can be a little challenging and tiring to hike but for the most part there is no difficult terrain.
We hiked just under 8 miles and arrived at the car at 1:15pm. It was a nice relaxing hike with great weather and no bugs yet. Mark can check off another section and I finally got out for a little camping. I am already looking forward to the next trip.
