Today my "big challenge" will be a 1,000 foot elevation gain spread over a two mile span - using trail cut with switchbacks. I know because I'm halfway up it now and stopped for lunch. Ahhhh... switchbacks. How I adore thee! :-)
Other things that seemed to only live in my distant memory, but are now back in play, are mosquitoes and cobwebs - boo to both! So far today I haven't passed another soul on the trail so needless to say I've been web-walking for miles. That said it's a minor inconvenience to endure in order to have the whole trail to myself. I know there are plenty of other southbounders out there so I'm bound to run into someone soon. For now, I'm just going to enjoy the solitude, rolling trail and beautiful weather.
Rolling On,
