My first time on this trail, as I've been meaning to do it for years. One car in the lot when I arrived.
Trail in good shape up to the kiln, just wet leaves and a few mud puddles.
Beyond the kiln (about 150 yds) the trail is runoff flooded for a stretch. About ankle-deep (depending on the mud where you step, maybe deeper), so taller boots recommended if going beyond the kiln. Other than that, trail is good.
If a first-timer to the loop at the end (like me), I recommend going left (clockwise) as the trail around the backside of the knob has a very narrow and fairly steep section that I wouldn't care to be going down in wet/slippery conditions. Same view -- safer travel.
Be advised -- heard several rifle shots on the return, so hunters are out there this time of year and the trail does pass by or thru private land.
