>>1250133Hiking on utility trails/roads should be "okay"...But I'd be reeeeal wary of setting up camp or even wandering off the trail/roadway. Like "I don't wanna get cancer today" wary. Some power companies spray a shit ton of nasty industrial strength defoliant and/or pesticides (for the lyme ticks) around 'em so that their repair work crews can get in & out quickly without it being a hassle.
Tl;Dr: Stick to the trails/road. Don't wander off the pathway. Don't pick/eat from anything growing; IE: flowers, blueberry bushes, etc. And stay the hell away from any unnaturally large areas of dying brown/dead black patches
