BV Friday Adventure #1Review

The second Friday Adventure at BV . . . the leaves are changing.
Get your weekend started with an outdoor adventure!!
Friday October 5th
meet at the Bolton Nordic Center
5pm ready to run- because the days are getting shorter
[1 hour-1.5 hour run/ hike]
and lets eat dinner at Bailey's Restaurant at Bolton after the run/hike.

Run #1 the real story
Last week we had a great run- althought it was a little longer than expected because we missed a turn and ended up running farther south on the Long Trail than planned. But it all worked out fine- we got back inside the BV Nordic Center just at dark and minutes before some heavy rain.

Along they way we stopped twice- #1 was for a couple minutes at Harington's View (2600') to look back at BV, Camel's Hump and the rest. Scott almost went over the edge, but Tremble pulled him back in. Stacy, Helen and I took a couple minutes to do some pushups -- and then we were back on the trail. #2 was at Buchanan Shelter (21500') where we visited with 2 guys camping out for the night... they seemed surprised to see a group of runners. I think it was because in our hour run we had travelled the same route they were planning to spend the whole next day hiking.

The route was-- Cliffhanger> Eagles Nest> North Ridge - aka Long Trail South to Buchanan Shelter and back up the hill on> Maple Loop/Broadway.
