At the start of the "Public Footpath" it didn't feel very public friendly. I had to wade through purple flowers, squeeze through ferns taller than me, and run through fields of a spongy plant that conveniently hid the water under it. I had mud up to my butt, and my shoes went all squishy. What a way to start an adventure! See the pines over in the distance? That's where I took the pics of the forest road further down this blog. Then I followed the tree line beyond the hill to a dam. After that I found the highway about 3 miles from the dam and followed it back. It was fun.
