On the final day of my trip, I faced overcast conditions and a need to return my rental car. So I tackled Pillsbury, the last peak I needed for the Hamilton County Fire Tower Challenge.
This trail could use a little TLC. Especially near the top, it was overgrown, and I got slapped around by wet branches. The tower itself is missing a few railings, and the cab is closed. I don't have much fear of heights, but even I stopped when it got to wet, rail-less boards thirty feet off the ground ...
In good news, I ran into some DEC and SCA folks near the trailhead, as they were there to plan out some work. And next weekend, volunteers are working on the tower.
