Title: Henry Coe State Park March 30, 2013
Post by: Skyline35 on April 01, 2013, 09:37:28 AM

This week's Coe ride is a solo trip out to one of my Adopt-A-Trails, Rose Dam Trail, to do some brushing. Between the fog and the storm clouds, there were some great skyscapes:

Riding out, I had one eye on the sky, and one eye on the ground:

Seen along the way, Water Net Algae (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_net) in Hoover Lake:

Rose Dam Trail - here is were I start today's work. Right now, this section is just annoying low ankle-slashing brush but in time it will overwhelm the trail:

I worked until nearly 5pm. Satisfied with the results, I headed back. The weather forecast was for showers in the evening, and it certainly looked threatening:

…but I was able stay dry on my return to the car. Just a few very light sprinkles.
