The best day of this week for hiking! No need for jackets and caps; in fact, we had some short sleeves and shorts today! We even worked up a bit of a sweat with our strong pace.

We had all vets today, and no one to slow us down. We took just a couple of water breaks, so not much time to rest today.

We stopped at the Visitor Center to welcome back Darren and Andrew, who have been out for 45 days with the government shutdown. It ws great to see them back today.

The trails were well covered in leaves today, but no one fell, and we didn't get lost I'd say that makes it a successful hike! ~. Joyce
