First Flat Rock Blog post

Welcome to the Flat Rock Blog. (Try saying Flat Rock Blog three times fast.) It's written by outdoorsmen who have hiked the trails in and around Flat Rock for years, taken photos, tracked animals, accurately mapped the trails, and who continue to explore it in all seasons.

Of course we really don't want to attract more people to the trails; we'd just as soon have them all to ourselves. We really don't want to make it easy for partiers to find places to party and have campfires, nor for people to do anything else destructive. If we're sometimes vague about information or locations, it's probably purposeful.

In the next few weeks or months we're going to assemble and publish (on-line) a map that includes all the trails in Flat Rock, Crocker Conservation Area, and nearby non-private lands. There are some good, and not-so-good maps already out there, but nothing that is all-inclusive. In keeping with our protective stance, we may leave a few things off the map, such as the location of any graves, cellar holes, or sensitive habitats.

Also on its way (once us old guys figure out the technology) are a number of photo albums, to which we hope to constantly add. We are also working on an e-mail link so you can contact us with any questions, comments, suggestions, or news flashes if you see a bear, moose, bobcat, fisher cat, or any other exciting wildlife sightings.

So, stay tuned, and we'll see you out there in the woods.
