Challenging SUMMER ONLY loop

Mike B., Maximum Overdrive the dog, Sophiedog, and I got out yesterday for a challenging Pisgah loop: Starting at the Turkey Pen Parking Lot->South Mills River Trail->Squirrel Gap trail->Mullinax->SMR->66 jumps.

….and again:

It was wet, hot, and humid yesterday. Perfect weather says this fungal growth:

Mike shot this vid of me crossing Cantrell Creek on Squirrel Gap trail:
