I must say the dogs were all well behaved. I just thought they may want the place to themselves and I wanted a little privacy and be closer to my car in the morning as I was on a schedule.
I did see a copperhead sunning on a rock right by the Duskin Creek bridge!
There were also 2 ATVs that crossed over the trail and the creek just down from that bridge as well.
I did some filming myself but haven't got the bug to put anything together and post. Maybe one day.
Thanks again for the post, maybe I'll run into you or Evan on the trail sometime.

Wasn't him...they were alone. Not sure which campsite he stayed at. The main campsite sits right on the Piney and has a big semi-circle of rocks made into a sitting area around the fire.
That trail is one of the more popular trails because it's been around a long time. Not as the CT but as the Bowater...private timber company who set it up as a recreation area.
My friend staged their cars and thru hiked it...that was one of his cars.
