Training hikes continue...
Bob is working hard, training for his upcoming vertical mile hike on his 50th birthday. We went up to the Elizabeth Furnace area one weekend in October and hiked the loop to the radio tower on top of Signal Knob, about 10 miles. We camped out (in the forest service campground) and had a nice little fire and even grilled some steaks. Here we are taking a snack break on the trail.
Looking toward Signal Knob, with the haze of Winchester in the distance.
The next day we mountain biked part of the Mud Hole Gap trail. We were both pretty sore from the day before so we turned around after the 3rd or 4th stream crossing. Here's Bob crossing one in great style!
--------------------------------------------------Halloween was mellow, with only the cute 3 year old boys in the cul-de-sac and 2 or 3 other groups ringing the doorbell. I say it every year, but I swear I'm not buying any candy next Halloween!
There was an avian theme this year, with a penguin and a toucan...
