Benton MacKaye Storm Damage and the Ball Mountain Loop

The last time I did the the short Ball Mountain Loop it was pretty socked in. I thought I'd head up and do it again and check out the Owen Overlook, which happens to be where my intro pic was taken. I ended up adding a 1.5mi loop when I came across some storm damage! Hats off to trail workers who cleared that debris!
