Type of Adventure: Hike
Place of Adventure: Moosalamoo
Length of Adventure, miles: 5
Length of Adventure, hours: 4.5
Weather: Warm, sunny, light breeze, clear sky, temps in 60s, perfect fall day.
Companions: Colyn
Other Adventurers Encountered: A couple with a dog, and a single hiker at the 1st trailhead. A couple hiking at the 2nd trailhead. Signs of a wedding at the rock near the top of the hill in the blueberry patch.
Notes of Interest: 1. What a beautiful fall day for a hike. The view from the blueberry patch must be one of my favorites. 2. There didn't seem to be much damage from Hurricane Irene except in the last section as you swing around the west side of Hogback mountain trail. 3. Along the section near the 2nd trailhead there were a lot of small trees/bushes with some kind of berry. The berry was about the size of a pea, champagne colored, hard, and in clusters. When it was ripe (I think ripe) it was dark and mushy. 4. The 2nd trailhead has a great place to pitch a tent. Near the river, flat, not in a field, and well away from the parking area. I will have to make a point to camp there next year.
