Interresting article about the Appalachain Trail in the WaPo that goes into some detail about not only the history, but also the changes to the route that have happened over the years for various reasons. Interestingly, at 2,200 miles it's almost 150 miles longer than it was when it was supposedly "completed".
I will probably never hike it. If I ever decide to tackle any sort of long distance through hike it would likely be part of the Pacific Crest Trail instead.

Today was the first day since April that we got an appreciable amount of rain. I actually like going out hiking in the rain as long as it's not pouring because when everything's wet the colors of the forest totally pop. Here are a couple of pics from the "Big Trees" trail, my favorite hike here in town.
When it's dry the little salamanders don't come out. I had to be careful today not to step on any of them. Unlike the geckos these guys move pretty slow so it would be super easy to just squish them.

Pretty!
jp1, I can totally see why that would be your favorite local hike. So serene-looking! Thank you for the pics!
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
Beautiful! I never see salamanders anymore.
That does look like a wonderful place to hike. Thanks for sharing pics!
