revised the trail. the original trail descended back down to the red blazed trail, but this area got hammered in the microburst a couple years back. doesnt look like the back side will ever be cleared. I attached it to the purple blazed trail that leaves the Northford Rd parking area/kiosk and follows the field perimeter. the orange blazes go up to the Knife Edge trail that is not listed yet.
