We got to trek the entire race loop today with Rex - a race volunteer. Nice of the weather gods to provide a downpour at the start so we could stay cool as the temps were slated to hit the high 80's. The past week has seen lots of high wind as well as rain so there were many places that required some dodging of downed trees and limbs.
This first photo is of a fawn. So do you think it was found in some far off meadow, well away from traffic? No, Bambi was just a few paw prints from the finish line - right in the path of the disk golf course. They are so cute at this stage but given some time, I will be called upon by my people to protect them from this wild animal!
The other photo is another pretty picture of a despicable item - the dreaded multi-flora rose. This plant is responsible for more blood letting on the trail than all other causes combined.
Sunday, we made a less hurried trek around a couple of loops to clear the trail of some of those downed limbs. It might be a while, as slow as my people are, before the whole trail is totally clear from start to finish.
