I am a member of Camp Savage which is shown in one of the pictures on the Buck / Brush Ridge Loop and as of 2007 the Brush Ridge Trail is now very open from Otter Gap through the Spruce Mountain Road. Also in that area the Old Otter Gap Trail is now open over the top of Slate Ridge to the black top Alan Seger Road. All of these trails are very open and easy to walk with some rocky areas but mostly laurel and red brush. This piece was well done.
