We did well today, despite the heat and humidity. We maintained a good pace and finished with 5.5 miles in our two hours. The park service did a great job of clearing many trees that had been blocking the trails since the weekend storms.

Wally showed us all how easy it is to be first up the warmup hill! He was barely breathing hard when he got to the top . . . or perhaps he caught his breath while the rest of us were still struggling to the top. Congratulations, Wally!

It was great to see the Renegades gathering in the Visitor Center parking lot when we passed through. Then, we saw them all hiking as they headed to the Lollipop Trail.

No slow folks on today's hike. And if there were complaints, I didn't hear them!

Lee too lots of great photos which have been added to the album. Thank you, Lee! ~. Joyce
