Friday, May 31

Another sunny day, temp 90-ish, humidity 61%.  More training in the office. Busy weekend for the park.

Added another bird - Red-eyed Vireo, been hearing it and not able to recognize the song. Finally caught a glimpse. Darn tall trees.

Walked to the top of the Gorge from "home" late yesterday afternoon. Decided to take this is small segments until I get accustomed to the terrain. Just around the park is flat and level, but the gorge trail is pretty steep. The distance to the bottom is only 1/2 mile but gorge is 165 feet deep. Going down will be a snap, it's the coming back up part that might prove to be a challenge.

When I get "in shape" I'll try the trail from the other end of the park.

The geologist in me can't resist the technical part...
