Presi Day...excellent...Jewell Trail in fine shape..a bit wet at bottom but smooth and dry to treeline.
Fields of wildflowers along upper Jewell and Gulfside..trails in great shape.. Many flowers on the side of Little Munroe and heading across Franklin..glorious day with hot sun..cool breezes at times..long distance views...great day out with Val...got my first swim of the year in on one of the spots along the Base Station Road...very nice |
