French Louie Was a Mudder
August 18, 2016 8:15 pmAfter a “relatively” short 3 hour or so off trail/bushwack through the Whitney Area this morning, I connected with the French Louie Trail. Named after a Adirondack guide, trapper, woodsman and hermit who was well known in the area during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. My time on the French Louie Trail was certainly a lot of sloppy hard work pushing through often knee deep mud. I also saw some cool old debris. A wood spoked wheel. Not quite old enough to be French Louie’s but pretty old non the less.
