| Today I hiked from the Castle Danger Trail head back to the Encampment River. Yesterday it rained. I got 1.4 inches at my house which were sorely needed. Rain fell here too which made for slippery rocks, slippery exposed roots, slippery mud, and slippery boards. Here I am at the Crow Creek gorge. Look at those cliffs! |
 |
| I think hiking up cliffs is easier than going down because I can bend forward and use my hands for balance. |
 |
| This is a dicey walk across a flowing stream. The board on the right is flat. The board on the left is rounded. Both move down an inch or more as I shift my weight. I made it across safely. |
 |
| Here I am at Pine Ridge Overlook. |
 |
| Much of my walk was through private property but this spot belongs to the Minnesota Land Trust. |
 |
| I think the land was donated in memory of Sarah Ellen Jaeger. I give credit to whomever hauled that big rock up here for her. |
 |
| Whew! I am back at the Encampment River. Time to turn back to the car and start eating lunch. |
 |
| Here is another look at the Crow Creek gorge but this time I am pointed downstream. Those cliffs are very dramatic. Today I added 2.7 miles making a total of 80.8 miles completed on the Superior Hiking Trail. I have 251.7 miles left to go. |
