Out Lumber Ridge Trail, down the manway
weather: warm, sunny; leaves turning at higher elevations.
sighted:
9 bears - the most we've seen in one day.
1 ruffed grouse - heard bursting into flight but not actually seen.
chipmunks & squirrels galore in acorn frenzy.
hikers passed: 0 (there were 8 people at the falls when we arrived, they had traveled via the short route & we didn't pass them actually hiking so I am not including as part of the count)
