Four Soldiers Path

Hiking eastbound away from the Pond of Safety this trail becomes impassable about a mile in. Large area from past ice storms is totally overgrown with thick, thorn covered brush. After two blazed trees it was anyone's guess which way to go. I descended via bushwhack and reached a brook which I followed to a logging road - which eventually got me back to the Underhill Path and the Crescent Ridge. A couple of days later I tried the trail again heading west from the Pasture Path - no issues at all to the height of land/Eye of the Needle -it looks like there is just that one small section that is a total mess.
