Started at the usual spot, the trail head off US 301 just north of the river. It was cold and windy. 47 degrees at the start and winds up to 20 mph. Had three layers and gloves on.
Hiked west on the north leg of the trail for about a mile to a two track trail heading north and then back east. Worked my way up to the northeast corner of the park where I made a loop.
I am having trouble retrtieving photos from gaiagps.com. When I get this resolved, I will add the photos to this blog. I am also working on getting the tracks downloaded and added to the apps. This will show where the photos were taken.
The aerial map I was using in the gaiagps app on my iphone 6s, MapBox Aerial, showed tracks and roads that were now overgrown. One track went through high grass. It was clearly visible on the aerial map but barely distinguishable on the ground. I had to keep checking the iphone to see that I was still on the trail. I have come to rely on the gaiagps app on my iphone, maybe too much.
It was a good hike. Saw some new areas of the park. Felt better as the hike went along. Less shortness of breath.
The air warmed up to the mid 50's and the sun was out, but the wind was still chilly. Kept the three layers on through the hike.
