Took a trip to my old stomping grounds! I grew up on Salmon River Rd, and spent Saturday, July 24th up there. I walked the trail while my husband fished, and took photos.

The weather was hot and the bright sun made it difficult to not get overexposed photos. But once the sun started going down, it got a bit better for my photos, and for my husbands fishing luck :lol:

An easy walk through gorgeous scenery, and it was also fun to visit a part of my childhood again!

Hot... but probably about the coolest spot to be in hot weather, other than in a coastal fog bank. That trail is always a nice after-work retreat during our summer heat waves. Thanks for the report!
