Looking back at Hwy 178.

It's been a long time since I did a hike on a trail, most of the hikes we been doing have been XC.

Interesting looking patterns on the mountain side.

Robin found this dead newborn on the trail. Looks like it might be a possum or squirrel.

Nice looking tree covered ridgeline.
