More rough conditions

I got out early this morning on the Hinkson Creek Trail to check out the damage left behind from the nearly 36 hours straight of rain Columbia received. It wasn't too bad compared to some other lengthy rain storms we've had, but still there are some tough spots to navigate.

I mainly stayed on the gravel parts of the trail and there are quite a few large puddles covering the width of the trail. I sprinted through those on my tip-toes so I wouldn't get my shoes completely soaked.

There are also some parts on the trail where the gravel got washed up and off the main part of the trail. There are some larger exposed rocks in those places because of that and it is somewhat difficult to get good footing in those areas.

It's tough out there, for sure, but if you're a cross country fan who likes getting dirty like me, you'll love it. It's not impassable and can be quite an adventure, which is what we're all looking for anyway, right?

Have fun!
