Savage Gulf Day Loop 7.5.2022

 It was hot, but not too hot on this 4.4 mile hike.  It was a perfect day for a hike and 16 of us started off.  I would consider this an easy hike as there were no significant up or downs.  Since it was a beautiful day, we enjoyed the intense green foliage along the way.  Unfortunately, since it had been very dry recently, there was not much in the way of water features.  Some of the group hike down to Savage Falls and this added 0.6 miles to the hike.  The rest of us continued on and waited at the tables near the ranger station. The duration of the hike was 2hr 45min.  Everyone had a very nice time.

Pot Point Loop Trail 7.2.2022

 It wasn't dark and stormy, but is was hot and stormy!  Saturday, July 2 found three brave souls testing themselves in the heat and humidity in Prentice Cooper on the Pot Point Loop.  The original plan was to do only 8 miles of the loop, but some people wanted to do more...so we ended up doing 11 or 12.  About 2/3rds of the way through we encountered a nice thunderstorm, but we were all already soaked from sweat so a little more water didn't have much impact.  A pretty trail with a few great views.
