The Gorge Brook Slide was a recent topic of discussion on one of the hiking forums. <br /><br />As so many of your off trail excursions have done, you've given me yet another to add to the ever growing list. Simply fantastic photos.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing,<br />JoeJustJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657236449099527872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814464431995035927.post-76276524702779835142012-09-09T16:40:57.812-04:002012-09-09T16:40:57.812-04:00Yes, it was pretty gnarly in there.

After seeing the cascade, I veered away from the brook where the woods were less gnarly, and then made a beeline northward to pick up the Carriage Road.<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814464431995035927.post-44234195864779202622012-09-09T15:34:46.256-04:002012-09-09T15:34:46.256-04:00Thanks, John - I suspect there are more Pleiades C...Thanks, John - I suspect there are more Pleiades Cascades above the one I visited. Do you remember how many you found?<br /><br />SteveSteve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403760631302934834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814464431995035927.post-82546690153136444272012-09-09T12:18:45.840-04:002012-09-09T12:18:45.840-04:00Steve, as always, your report is terrific! And, t...Steve, as always, your report is terrific! And, there's no need for any "mea culpa" regarding the WMG description for the Gorge Brook Trail differing from what you actually found. This last minute change for the trail relocation was simply something that was unforeseen at time the WMG was being readied for publication.<br /><br />Your photos taken from your clamber up the old Gorge Brook Slide Trail has inspired me to go back and give that a try. I say "go back" because I sat out to do this a few years ago, but got sidetracked along the way and ended up doing what you did in 2007, i.e. I bushwhacked upstream along Gorge Brook. I saw the Pleiades, but in my naïveté, I didn't know it was the Pleiades! Can't recall for certain, but I think it might have been you who told me what I'd seen, or I read something you'd written and sort of figured it out on my own.<br /><br />John <br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.com
