It was a wonderful day for a hike. The black flies
were just beginning to come out, and the weather was great.
Everyone ditched their jackets pretty early in the hike.
Indiana did wonderfully on his first hike being
un-tethered. The trip out went well enough, but everyone was a bit
surprised at how many long uphill stretches there were on the return trip.
:-)
We began the hike in at about 9:20, and ended up back at
the trail head at around 5:30.
There were two interesting bridges along the way. The
first was a wooden bridge that was in pretty bad shape, |

The map below was created from a nice site that adds a layer of
functionality to Google Maps (often called a "mash up"). The link
below should allow you to zoom in on the route we took, as well as look at
it with different overlays.
