Getting out on Shenipsit Trail, off Galbreath Road. I was hoping to run over Bald Mountain and the Pinnacle, recreating part of an old run a bunch of us used to do every July (Thanks Kevin S). It has been a very long time since then, and I hadn't visited Bald Mountain or the Pinnacle in well over a decade.
As I hit what was sort of the first peak of the day, on the Blue Blazed Shenipsit Trail, I realized that I wasn't on Bald Mountain, and I wasn't west enough. Evidently, the old Shenipsit Trail has been re-rerouted! I have to admit, the work done on this new section is phenomenal. Bald Mountain and the Pinnacle would have to wait for another day. Ended up with 8-miles on my legs.
The Whistling Tree.
Huge Grouping of Stones uphill from the trail.
Balanced Rock slightly off trail, looking easterly.
Same Balanced Rock, looking westerly toward Bald & Pinnacle Ridge.
An Old Well, I've located a few of these in this section of forest. No Cellar Hole nearby.
