Thanks Bob,
Sun and I can make it up to Mohawk this Wednesday Aug.12. Is that OK?
Sun asked if you were single because she has a friend but I told her you
always have this nice woman in your pictures so I don't think so. < ; -

Maybe I'll count this field trip for some of the required continuing
forestry education credits for my forester's license.

Mike,
One end of the trail is located off Steele Brook
Road. ATVers use that end. The other is at Zoar Gap off River Road (Zoar
Road). I don't care for the Steele Brook Road end. I always go up from
Zoar Gap to get to the good views quickly. no monster trucks in that
area.
I'll be doing programs on the last two Saturdays
in August at MTSF, one program in the AM and one in the PM on each
Saturday. However, I'd be pleased to organize a trip especially for you
and Sun and whoever else you choose to invite. That way we could go
well off trail and see areas that wouldn't work for a general group.
For your viewing pleasure, I have attached a 3
images. The first is from near the summit of Negus looking toward the
Hoosac Mountain ridge, Route 2, and a few buildings in Florida, MA. The
second image was taken today and is of Trout Brook in MTSF. The last
image was taken in the Trout Brook watershed and features 5 white pines.
counting from the left, the first and third belong to the 150 Club. The
rightmost pine has heavy weevil damage and isn't particularly
attractive. Nonetheless, all are growing machines. The Route 2 corridor
is visible as the area of light beyond the pines. The 3rd pine from the
left probably brushes 153 feet. I won't be able to measure it accurately
until the leaves drop. Its girth is now 8.6 feet.

Bob,
Where is the trailhead to Negus Mountain? Is it from
Steele Brook Road in Rowe or Zoar Road in Charlemont?
Sun and I have been section kayaking the fabulous and
pristine Deerfield River this summer. It is without question a jewel of
a river!
More on that later.
By the way next time you give a tour on the old growth
at Mohawk let me know; Sun and I would like to go.
Mike
