This trail update applies to the November 2018 New Straitsville map and affects Point 21 to Point 22.
Update at Point 21: A staircase was added along Salem Hollow Rd and the trail has been rerouted through up stream Rock Run and Tecumseh Lake. The reroute adds 0.4 mi to the section for a total of 62.2 mi. For CW Points 22 and higher add 0.4 mi. For CCW Points 21 and lower add 0.4 mi. The new description is as follows:
CW 34.7 N | CCW 27.5 S | Point 21 | 160 ft W on Salem Hollow Rd (C17) from Intersection at T18 and T427
Follow trail another .21 mi as it turns first E, N, E and finally W. Continue 1.12 mi, meandering and ascending gradually through dense forest, passing an old oil pump, and descending down to Upper Rock Run (Mine Fire Trailhead) with several trail junctions. In 0.73 miles after following blue-blazed Carsonite posts to where the trail enters woods, ascending again through dense forest, and eventually crossing a service road under a utility line, cross Salem Hollow Rd (C17). Now descend, sometimes steeply, until you reach Tecumseh Lake (0.3mi, Point 22).
