Not any better coming south.  I had to go back up the rock slide to spot the
blazes away off across the clearing - none were visible from the shelter.
Spent a good 10-15 mins looking.  I found the blazes sparse in this area and
after Hugo the leaf litter had wash back into the treadway making it hard to
find the trail at times.
