"Off trailing" in Greenbrier w Mountain Man Glen Cantrell

Winter time is the perfect and safest time to "off trail" hike. But I only venture out on these old man ways w a pro like Mountain Man Glen Cantrell. He lived close to entrance if Greenbrier as a boy and worked all over this park as fire ranger in his younger years. At 84 he still can lead us on a 8 mile jaunt on the other side of the little pigeon river He found 1 very remote cemetery and our lunch stop was close to old settlers trail on this side man way. Dolly Parton great grandpa is buried there w a clear tombstone Good hiking buds and a few CAK teachers really enjoyed this "glen Cantrell special " today
