11/2/2024 Williamsburg pt19 to pt22
Today with Kyleigh, Nancy, and John. We met at the Batavia public parking area and shuttled to the East Fork Visitor Center. At the end we tried to get food at the bean and Brew but the line was long and a 20 minute wait for food. So we said goodbye to Kyleigh and the rest of us continued past our planned hike. Nancy was going to the UDF in Perintown where I met her that morning at 830. John and myself just went through the off road part of this hike since there was reports of impassable conditions. We found a number of freshly sawn honeysuckle trees and this might have been the cause before they were cut.

The lake was so pretty today
I thought this was a control tower but it's the water control. Walking on the saddle dam.
Love the fog with fall this is the other side of the saddle dam road.

We went rogue... no this is where the trail turns and goes off road.
This is nice piece of off road. It was reported many problems here. It did not seem bad that the moment. We did see signs someone had done some work with honeysuckle there.
Other side of off road. Nice newish community here. The land and guy to the right here has some signs that are interesting on his gate...
We left Nancy and let her continue. Walking back to Batavia now
Signs at the courthouse

Not sure what was going on at this moment
A bit of limbs here, nothing too major
This might be earlier in Batavia
