I follow the tire tracks a short distance off my Hyten Spring hiking route and find that they end at a guzzler
This unexpected discovery explains most (but not all) of the tire tracks I've seen today. Guzzler-maintenance folks have permission to violate the mostly-good law that prohibits ordinary people from driving a bicycle or car into a Wilderness area like this. A full pond of water here, though not the freshest. I consider filtering some, and hiking an extra day in the area, but I do have plenty to get me back to Ludlow tomorrow.
