Jacob, Chris and I arrived on the island at 11:30am on August 1 and walked from Back Cove to Fort McNab, via Garrison Rd, and then to Strawberry Battery, via McNabs Pond Trail for the night. Most of the McNabs Pond Trail is overgrown. We were told DNR is allowing the overgrowth to happen to deter travel to Strawberry Battery. We cleaned up a big piece of the former battery and set up camp on the concrete. The following morning, made the return trip to Back Cove, this time via the Wambolt Trail, to wait for Red Beard to take us back to the mainland.
