17.6 miles with 4200 feet elevation gain along Sam’s Ridge







 I hiked with a meetup group today for 17.6 miles with 4200 feet elevation gain along Sam’s Ridge, Buck Hollow/Ridge and Hazel River Trails. The cool drizzle made the steep uphills easier. A few stream crossing on the way out spice up the hike. Thanks to George’s brilliant idea of placing a towel on a slippery rock as foothold to cross a river. I am glad that I did not fall on rocks or into river today, although I slept shallow last night. I managed to shop in Walmart and then ran 3 miles after the hike yet before dark, to finish my weekend 20 hike/run miles goal.
