Appalachian Trail

It's hard to believe it took until May to get out on the Appalachian Trail for the first time in 2013 ... I got out there on the section near Boonsboro, MD this morning for a short run out to the scenic overlook that is pictured in my profile for this blog.  Here is a selfie from this morning.

I headed out early because I had a feeling it was going to get hot today.  Wrong!  It was overcast the whole time.  In fact it rained a bit.  The trail was in great shape - there is still a a fair amount of crushed leaves on the trail,  making what can be a pretty rocky trail a bit softer in places.  The climbing was tough though - I've got a lot of work to do.
