Bartram Trail - Warwoman Dell to Big Rock
Nice hike today with clear skies, lower humidity and temperatures between 76 & 82 degrees. No rain in the past 5 days which made the trail dry. The trail in in pretty good condition with only very few, short washed out sections. Otherwise mostly pine and other humus covering the path. We made a stop at the Big Rock Overlook which now has a rope tied between trees to assist in getting down to and from the overlook. We backtracked and decided to continue on the Bartram Trail a bit further, but missed the turn-off and followed an old logging road a bit before realizing our error. We then backtraced and found the turn-off to continue on the Bartram for another half a mile before turning back. We found a few wildflowers in bloom which is always nice.
