Route: Unknown snowmobile trail, red blazed trail, (Bayle Mountain), red blazed trail, unknown snowmobile trail

Trails were dry and generally in good shape. Bayle Mountain Trail is still getting good use, despite the best efforts of the logging company to keep people out (despite the agreement they signed with the government to maintain the hiking trail in exchange for over a million dollars a few years ago). Despite being short, the trail packs a lot of variety and the summit ledges are quite nice. Blueberries are mostly green still, but a few ripe ones could be found.
