 | Comments: |
Rocky Branch and Isolation East were for the most part uncharacteristically dry. Trail was pretty quiet and I could see why this is called Isolation. I did meet many great people on trail as well. A shoutout to Mike who gave me some water when I was low with about 2 miles to finish. It was nice meeting you and your wife and I wish you the best on your finish on the Bonds Labor Day weekend! |
