We adventured out to the Billy Goat trail, around Bear Island again this weekend. It was the first summer trip to the area. Boy did we realize that, 97 degrees is Hot! It was also the first time we did both sections of trail "A" in one day. We hiked for 3.5 hours and 5 miles. At the middle exit marker we decided that we had not gone that far and could keep going. We had just taken a long break at the purplehorse beach (in the photo above) and felt good enough to keep going. What we failed to account for was the next 4 miles ahead. Anyway it was a great time, Karliegh, Christopher, Claire, and Andrew went with Martin and myself. Afterward we stopped by a local place to get ourselves re-filthy but with icecream.
