Backpacking Eastern Wayne County roads

The itch to try backpacking in the winter was getting to me, yet I didn't want to add more carbon to the atmosphere traveling to and from a hiking destination. Results? ... why not backpack a loop of the most rural roads of Eastern Wayne county. Below is a sequence of photos of my latest 78 mile trek in 2.5 days.
