McGill Creek 4.26.17

This hike included John and George.  They hike a recently completely segment from Upper Leggett Road to McGill Creek.  The distance was approximately four and a half miles to five miles and was rated moderate due to a couple of steep inclines.  The weather was perfect and there were several good waterfalls.  The water was running well due to the recent rainfall.  If you would like to see some gorgeous photos, click here.

White Oak Mtn.

There were ten hikers on this relatively easy hike of about four miles.  The group started at the bottom of the mountain and then hiked up to the ridge and followed the ridge line as far as it went.  The group saw several turtles (Eastern Box Turtle) and a quick to disappear snake (unidentified).  It was a little disappointing that there weren't many flowers.  It was an absolutely gorgeous day for a relatively easy hike.  If you would like to see some pictures, click here.
