Went south
I went to the state park this afternoon. I headed out on trails to the south that I have not been on for a long time. Finished up on a trail that was recently reopened after being closed for 10 years. My total distance was 4.8 miles, but I tripped on roots twice and took hard falls. Except for a skinned up knee, I am okay.
