	Comments:	this was a redlining day that with the Emerald Bluff being the goal. Randolph Path (ascending) and The Link (descending) were the primary trails that we hiked, however we grabbed bits and pieces of other trails along the way. hiker density was favorable. in fourteen miles we encountered only 7 other folks. it was WAAAAY hotter and more humid than forecast for Sunday. the extra water and water filter saved the day!
