Blanton Forest Loops

Since we had all been to Knobby Rock, we had the bright idea today that we would do the additional loop to the maze and rock shelter.  After all, it was only 1.3 miles additional mileage.  How hard could it be?  Hard!  One of the most difficult hikes we have done.  We had to traverse through the maze which was like navigating a boulder field.  In addition, there were countless ups and downs that required some very calculated stepping, helping hands and sometimes even butt scooting!  Yes, yes, yes, it was quite an adventure.  However, these old goats all made it and we were proud we did.  We just decided that one visit was definitely enough.  The weather was absolutely great, particularly for March, and we have another hike in the books!

Knobby Rock is big!

The maze

Yep, a ladder.
