Mouse bait

This is right beside the river. Rivers are wet and treacherous. BE PREPARED!

Find glug…glug…glug. Take the left hand path. This is a treasure trove of wetlands vegetation including poison ivy. It will be wet underfoot with overhanging vegetation. (Wear long clothes!!) Mark your progress with stepovers, first two, then one that looks like two, another one, then another, finally three at once. Watch the vegetation. You may notice the astringent smell of crushed mint. Soon bulrushes will appear. Walk through several patches of them. There’s another step over, then a wide clearing. (There’s a burned log here that shouldn’t really qualify as a stepover.) At the upriver end of the clearing the path continues passed a large stand of fragmites. These invaders are tall, bamboo-like reeds. Soon you’ll be surrounded by them. Just at the southern end of this stand and on the river side is a large tree with a lean-to of reeds against it. Mouse bait awaits!
I have it in there upside down in the belief that it will be drier that way.
The trail continues, but not for much longer.
Back track to stop 28.
