The trail was a little slow going after the blow downs because of the trail not being marked very well and being grown over.
I made it to the base of the mountain just before dark.
On my way out, I kept losing the trail. I ended losing the trail for good as I was making my way through the blueberry patch. I ended up with the choice of doubling all the way back to the base of the mountain and trying the trail again. Second choice was following a knarly gully down to the creek and following that out... but past experience told me that following creeks aren't the best idea. Third option was going over the top and down some open timber on the other side of the mountain.
So up and over I went. Made my way down the mountain. Ended up making my way out and was a whopping 3 minutes walk back to the vehicle.
Ended up spotting some nannies, kids and an immature goat(small face and horns shorter than it's ears). I also spotted a small red fox with some nice looking guard hairs.
