One of the reasons we don't have the race in the summer! Spiders. These little critters can rebuild a web in the time that it takes Mountain Man Jerry to complete one loop! If you are fortunate enough to miss the spider with your face, they usually bail off of you by scurrying down the back of your legs - or so says my human photographer. I don't understand all the fuss - I just charge right through. My people sure make an ugly sound when they encounter a face full of web.
Otherwise, the park is alive with flowers and the other pic shows a tall flowering plant in the area between Picnic Hill and 3rd creek crossing.
With little or no rain in the past few weeks, the creeks are low and the trail is dry - something most racers have never experienced. Early morning runs sure gets your feet and underbelly wet but that is more refreshing than anything.
