The "Lost" Boulder Climbing

Drive west on Rt 165 past Mt. Tom and take a right on to Escoheag Hill Rd. (becomes Hazard Rd.) Drive approximately 3 miles, passing Stepping Stone Ranch and the Rod and Gun Club. At the bottom of a big hill park at the large dirt pull off with a gate on the right. 

Follow a dirt track across the open space, that believe it or not used to be the parking area for the old Pine Top ski area, to link up with the blue blazed North South trail, heading south. Stay to the left, on the blazed trail, when you come to forks. Some spots can get pretty muddy, so rubber boots are handy if you have them. *Look for a small rapid on the left that opens into a small pond. Cross the stream just upstream from the pond and hike away from the river, bearing to the right some (sort of widely circling the pond) You may have to bushwhack a little. If you see the faint remains of a log skidding trail, follow that. A few minutes from the stream you should run into a small fire trail. Take a right on the fire trail another few minutes and look for the looming block on the right.

*Lately there is a small home made bridge ~ 100 ft. upstream from the pond that is very helpful for getting across. Once you have your bearings for the area you don't have to hike all the way down the NS trail until you can see the pond, rather you can short cut to the crossing by keeping an eye out for a short climbable boulder off to the left of the blue blazed trail as you are hiking in. (There is a big pine tree on the left of the trail with a small, old wooden sign for the North South Trail where you cut to this boulder) Hike over to it and then down to the stream where you should find the little bridge if it hasn't washed away. Note - During high water the stream can become impassable.
