big tower mac climbedIt was horribly hot today, and we went looking for a hike wed heard about called Story Mill Trail. Turns out we tried to hike the spur, not the main trail, which was barely a hike. It went up a hill and then down in a dried up creek bed for about 1/4 of a mile. And that was it. We kept getting overtaken by mountain bikers and the sun was opressive.

The only highlight was when I told Scherzo to come (actually “Go Home”) and she ran so fast down the hill and instead of sitting in front of me like shes supposed to, collapsed into a down and layed there smiling and panting. It was atleast a 100yd come, so that was pretty fun. Mac reminisced about climbing the silo and then we sped away in Big Ugly to generate some breeze.

Later we went down to the river and took a bath. Even with it being insanely hot, the water was freeezing. Scherzo and Mac fell in while I very gingerly stood on the bank and dipped my washcloth in.
