Louise, Al and I spotted a car at the Todd Hill Rd PA and then drove over to Marino Pond. This is where we finished up on our last walk on this trail. We'd had some wet snow on Friday and it was even wetter now. Looked like about 4" on the ground. The first part was along the road until we turned onto the nature preserve. The path had not been walked on so it was a bit sloppy at times.
Saw these nice icicles on the bridge over the stream just above Buttermilk falls.
Here is Buttermilk falls. The trail follows right along the stream and then right down beside the falls. A bit treacherous in wet snow. After another bit of road walk we got back into the woods. A lot of the trail here was open because so much water had run down it during the previous days melt! As you can see from the map this climbs up to a ridge and then drops down the other side to the closed portion of Todd Hollow Rd. We were on the lookout for something labelled on the map as Eds Big Pebble. But we got to the road and saw nothing worthy of the name.
This nice cascade was right there however.
It was a quick road walk out (through very wet snow) to the car. Right at 2 hours and about 5.7 miles according to the walk book.
