Another good old-fashioned beatdown by Big Henry. We got off to a late start because the parking lot at HQ was full and some of us had to park down the hill, but at least I got to do a new trail (Live Oak).

Big Henry sent one of his friends to greet us

It's always a beautiful day at Mount Sizer

My legs had been stiff all week, so I knew I was going be in for a long day, but I surprisingly made it from the creek to The Bench in 37 minutes. I was tempted to call it a Level 5, but I settled on a high 4.

Great to see Linda and Dierk again!

Happy pseudo-700th!

Big thanks to all, including Thomas, Steve, Mike, Hima, and The Man who showed up and brought lots of goodies for the post-hike party! And thanks to Robert for leaving me a beer at The Bench. I needed it!

Milestones:
Arlene's 80^th leaf
Chinyet's 40^th leaf
Margie's 1^st leaf
Peter's 460^th leaf
