~*~ Kiss the Blaze! ~*~

 

Yet another quirky behavior of mine is to take pictures of the blazes on the trail I’m hiking. Different colors, shapes and sizes…sometimes there are a bunch of markers on one tree which makes me wonder how more people don’t get confused as all hell. Here’s a collection of blazes for you to enjoy…or laugh at…or completely skip over…

Mid State Trail, PA

Told ya…blazes in PA belong on rocks. We have more rocks than trees. Might as well make use of the dang things.
