i crossed the creek and saw there was more ribbons but then turned around to camp where sassafras and burnt
rock met up at..........
did you see this by any chance?
also----on the map-----at one point, sassafras creek trail kept following the trail up passed the campsite, (and i dont have map in front of me) and
i believe it met up with 415.....
have you ever checked this out?
when i got done doing that sass>burnt>snowbird loop-----i wondered to myself, since the ribbons on sassafras and
the ones down on snowbird where 415 cuts off----were the same, maybe they were trying to make that 415
meet up and go down to sassafras creek...
it was just a weird co-wink-a dink that the ribbons were the same and the cutting of brush was fresh in both places...
and around that same time period i remember hearing from either you or will that the owners of the land up there didnt like hikers...
just a thought of them maybe connecting those.....i dont know..
