We walked the 3 mile red trail at the T. Mabry Carlton, Jr. Memorial Reserve Thanksgiving weekend. It was well marked and mowed, but probably only 20% shaded. No dogs are allowed. The trail was dry, but several spots looked like they would be impassible during the wet season. There were no mosquitoes. We saw 3 hawks and several white peacock and sleepy orange butterflies. There was widespread hog damage, and we heard and then saw two groups of feral hogs with piglets rummaging around.
