Fri, 21June - Summer Solstice

Trail Magic soda and snacks as I hiked out from Tiger Run. This section is very popular with the mountain bikers and it was like playing dodge ball as they came down switchbacks and hidden curves.  Everyone was friendly but it was stressful wondering if someone might be riding down from above and you had to keep looking up and then you were not watching you feet and would stumble on a rock or root.  This lasted for almost 15 miles.  Today is the solstice hike naked day.  But with all the bikers I only hiked a short time.  Camping by a stream with the sound of the water,
