Day 45 - Al's Trail

On a ridge trying to find Burr Haden Trail
 Another beautiful day in Seward and we decided to go to Burr Haden, an unpublicized trail that a guy named Al maintains. We'd been on the trail several times with other people but I guess we'd didn't pay attention to the driving directions because we never found the true trail. Instead we wondered around behind Al's house admiring his handy work and wind chimes hanging from several tree branches. We walked up and down the creek bed and up on to two separate ridges figuring we'd eventually run into the trail. After several hours we gave up and headed home. Since I made a phone call or two to find that we were extremely close but on the wrong drainage and ridge lines. At one point we were on the trail but didn't bother crossing a make shift bridge. Crazy - but at least I have another hike for weekdays when time is limited.
