In a Few Pictures: Loop Around Mississippi Head, Oct 4, 2014

Thanks to miah66, mjuliana, and others for their recent trip reports on this area. If not for their reports I would have been doing yard work!! Instead, I did a great hike that featured big skies, open vistas, historic bits of history, interesting people on the trail, and a dining room at both beginning and end.

Here are a few photos that supplement the great photography in the other reports.

Makes for a great day, huh? I will remember that hike for a long time. Love the rock art, the "domes" and the pup on the prop!
