FKT: Tai Roulston - Tuscarora Loop (WV) - 2020-10-25

Ran the loop counterclockwise from the described parking location where the Tuscarora Trail crosses Waites Run Road. It was late October so a 1.5 liter water pack and a couple of gels was sufficient for the trip. The creeks on the initial ascent had plenty of water that could have been collected and treated, but the later parts of the route were mostly dry. This was the inaugural run on the route so I tried to describe in the instructions where people might lose the way. It was a warm October day with lots of hikers out. The leaves had just fallen off the trees and so the rocky sections were a bit tricky, as they obscured many of the rocks and the angles at which they were tilted. Would be easier to cruise over the rocky sections another time of the year.
