463.     Looping Back for the Bartram Trail
A pleasant figure-eight loop around Bald Hill/ Arcadia for an intricately mapped carving by figureeight of SC

This box is probably most appropriately done as part of the figure eight loop described in the second half of the "Wanda's Wanda-rings" series. (listed under the heading "More of Wanda's Wanda-rings"). However, for those wishing a slightly shorter alternative, here is another suggested route:

Follow the old dirt road from behind the gate off Bates Schoolhouse Road as in the clues for "Hiking Critters on Wanda's Wanda-rings". At the top of the hill near "great triangle island", bear left with the loop arrow. Go right at the next fork with the big snag, and continue straight past the first cross trail (AT#5 right/ Catamount Trail left) to pick up "Wanda's Wanda-rings" with the "California Redwoods" (about 400 feet from the fork with the snag). Pass the "Wonderland Trail"(another 100 feet), the "Colorado Trail" (another 500 feet) and the "Foothills Trail" (another 70 or so feet to the beak of the second rock on the left). Then, after another 100 or so feet, find the wonderful box created by figureeight of SC to represent the Chattooga River /Bartram Trail, snugly wrapped in its own black cloak, under sticks behind another rock that is behind a baby beech directly on the left side of the trail. Hope you enjoy this lovely figureeight as you retrace your steps or loop back to your car!
