Mile 31-21: Triplett Creek to Rodburn Hollow Top

July 23: The Midland Trail, U.S. 60, connects Kentucky with Washington D.C. and follows Triplett Creek through Morehead, Kentucky. The Sheltowee Trace crosses a suspension bridge across Triplett and then follows the Midland Trail to an old road bridge andBluestone. Unfortunately, the U.S. Forest Service does does a poor job signing the trail as it weaves through the small hamlets that outlay Morehead. And a KY 38 roadcut east of Morehead abruptly terminates the trail with no signage. Just north though, the trail ascends to a ridge with excellent quadtrack that twists among stout and gnarled oaks, weathered by the ridge-top winds.
