Fools Knob was still unclaimed on this site, and its name called to me. This is in the Allegheny National Forest, so it's public land. I bushwhacked up the mountainside only to discover a new, unmapped logging road at the top. Not much in the way of views, but the hemlock forests were pleasant--if a little eerie somehow. I love this forest, but it felt oddly spooky today. It's still full-on winter up here. Coincidentally, Fools Knob is exactly the same height as the highest point in Iowa--which I believe is in a cornfield.
