food: tofu cheese with lettuce on whole wheat. corn chips. sliced carrot sticks. sliced and pitted peaches. corn chips. chocolate covered pomegranate pieces. tap water. wild blueberries. gluten-free chocolate graham crackers.
trail: 6 miles of unmarked herd path. windy, up and down. a few really steep parts. lots of roots and stones and trees to maneuver around. second half is an "open" ridge-traverse as opposed to the initial woods hiking.
