Comments
Comments: Very wet to start. Pretty straight forward until the big decision, North or South? As usual I went up North 1st, just an ass kicker but most that I saw went this way. Very windy on top kinda cold after a bit. Fast to South, black flies were hungry here. No issues out. Beat the rain today, 1st 4K in 4 months, nice to be back. Took my mom on her 1st 2 4Ks today & spread her ashes.

Paused to reflect and give thanks to all those who sacrificed for us 82 years ago today. Truly the greatest generation!
