Hiked after school. 8.2 miles in exactly three hours and four minutes. What was curious: hiked first three miles in an hour, then the next two in an hour and the last three in an hour. The two slower miles traversed muddy trail and climbed high bluffs, maybe that's why it took longer.
The river is really high after 3-5 inches of rain over the weekend--and I've never seen the creeks as full and rippling before. Saw three or four deer on the second loop of the trail, and heard frogs. I now have a literal experience to attach to the phrase "a chorus of frogs".
