3.51 miles ★★★★½ today was a greatly reduced usual suspects hike… it was just 2 suspects today, on the ever pretty francis carter preserve. best part? even though we were there early, some unknown hiker or hikers were there before us, and broke all the spider webs on the trail! yay! thank you, unknown hiker […]

3.18 miles ★★★ did this with a friend and got a little turned around (thank goodness for gps!); as a result, we ended up walking longer than planned. which wasn’t an entirely bad thing, actually. but it was pretty hot and humid, so it wasn’t entirely a good thing, either… hence the basically neutral rating.
