My last day at the WWW was spent walking off trail in the Copeland Creek area with Kenny Jones leading our group. We hiked into the park up a Soakash Creek and very shortly were on the OST. However, we soon bushwhacked our way off OST. We had to make our way through some mountain laurel, down a ravine and up the other side and then down a ridge. It would be easy to follow our route as long as there was snow on the ground.
We stopped at every old homesite and Kenny told us who had lived there. That pretty much summed up the day, about 8 1/2 miles of wandering around in the snow looking at old homesites and crossing creeks. We ended up walking out on either Copeland Creek or prong of it.
