Day 2
Saturday we hit Forest Hills and their 11 mile backpacking trail. Now this was devoid of
cool rock formations. Instead it was more of a forest primeval. There were
plenty of hills to climb up, over and around. After 7 miles of creek beds,
hills, fallen trees and more stairs (why stairs why!?) we called it an
afternoon. It also helped that a storm front was moving in and we had exhausted
our water supply. We have vowed to return to conquer the trail with fresh legs
and more supplies.

| Look at the ass on that guy! He must workout! |

| Fungus looking flower |

Does look like much, but this trail drops almost straight down for 100 feet.
A very fun descent! |
 |
| This bridge was the super rickety and had taken a beating in the last big storm. If you couldn't tell from the unnatural bending. |
 |
| Our crossing had been washed downhill along with a lot of detritus. |
 |
| Not sure why this area had a walkway. Maybe it gets all swampy at times? Maybe the trail gets over grown quickly? |
 |
| Why stairs? Why? |
 |
| Two fawns found us very interesting. |
 |
| Turned a corner and there was a doe less than 20 yards away. Needless to say she didn't stay long. |
 |
| A large section of this area was nothing but trees that looked had these woody vines growing around them. |
 |
| Mile almost 7 when we were crapping out. |
