Indian & Black Mtn. 6/25/12
This looks like a walk in the park. No backpacks and on a road. Hmmm.
We are going over there to Indian Mountain. Just 5 miles and 1200’.
That will be our first half.
Some scenic flowers. Levander?
No TC found just broken box cover.
Just to make sure we are checking other sides also.
There is our other destination, Black Mountain.
BM is here but register is nowhere, strike two.
We are on a way back to get our backpacks and lunch.
Picnic table, lunch, beer, lake view. Wow what a life.
Some log crossings.
On a road again, that is going to be easy. Not quite we will have to get on brush trail first.
Out of brush on fern trail.
We are getting some great views.
Here it is: Black Mountain Fire Lookout.
Some other lookouts that are around.
