Going to finish up the NE area hopefully in the next 2 weeks. Started again on Old Mountain Rd and walked that plus Read Mountain Rd. At the end of Read Mtn Rd there was a trail. I wonder where that lead to? I may hike that one day soon. Read Mtn was the border of the County and City as we saw trash cans on one side that said County and the other side was the City. On the way back to the car we saw the storm clouds coming in. We ran for about a .5 mile and as soon as we got back it poured. Lucky us.

Nice view from Read Mountain Rd.

Short walk around 2 miles today. Eve and Shane joined us. Shane even walked Eve for a bit. Dillard Rd was a long steeeep walk. And there was a road that was on my list, but it wasnt to be found. Just a closed gate w/ tons of overgrown grass and rubble.

Coming back down

Saw my brother in law while I was waiting on John and Shane. Chatted for a bit. The weather started out really cool in this area (Old Mountain Rd) like it was going to rain but man it got hot! Walked towards the Read Mtn area and entered a really nice neighborhood. Saw some for sale signs and the homes were pretty cheap. Nothing major going on in this walk but we did see some firetrucks around one house but nothing came of it.

Looking towards Read Mtn.

Nice walk today. About 4 miles in NW near Hanover area. Saw a lot of storm damage and about 4 roads were closed due to power lines being down. A ton of people were outside on their porches, decks and backyards either hanging w/ friends or playing music. Seems to me, in this area so far, people know how to relax and have a good time. John said he sold his Metroid merchandise!! Everything he had about Metoid is gone! He is no longer a Nintendo gamer or owner. Amazing.
