Every so often, I come across old diamond-markers - used to flag the AT in the old days. Or the old firewarden’s privy on Moxie Bald (still functional!).
The other day, I found something even rarer - an old trail sign to an overlook to Benson Mountian (from Third Mountian, on the Barren-Chairback Range).
The trail was about 100 yards long. As I was already tuckered from doing trail maintainence, I didn’t walk down the trail (it hadn’t been cleared in many years - was it closed down/abandoned?).
So has anyone seen this sign? Or have you seen the view - and if so, how was it?
And why is the trail closed/abandoned?
P.S. I do plan to ask the Whitecap District Supervisor, but thought I’d shoot a question out to you guys too.
