Let’s do this!Hopefully a snowy hike. 🤞
I found some boots, so I’m willing to give it a go.
9.5 mile O&B to Lake Drummond. Flat, straight & tree root free. Doesn’t get much easier & that’s why a snow trek makes sense here. 2 dirt tire tracks & grass is our path.
Markers every .5 miles, so if you want to cut it short feel free.
Dogs must be leashed if bringing.
20 min/mile is my usual pace, but possibly a little slower in these conditions.
As always…
What you carry in, you carry out.
Snack, water & proper attire
recommended.
Free parking with permanent restroom. Not claiming it’s luxurious tho.
Black Cadillac with trunk open is me.
Internet is iffy out there. I can’t wait & be checking FB & MU chats. Be early so we can roll out on time.
If you’re late, it’s a straight path/road continuing from parking lot. You’ll eventually meet up with us. Can’t really get lost. Go straight 4+ miles until you see the lake.
Washington Ditch Trailhead is at the end of the gravel Washington Ditch Rd. (off of White Marsh Rd.) in Suffolk.
Contact me if you have any questions.
