Three humans and two dogs: We started by leaving one car at the BW Mtn. Trailhead, then drove the other car to the Benham Trail. Hiked up Benham and down the Bill Will, without walking up the road to the summit. Couple of reasons for not summiting were the stormy weather coming in, and the fact we'd all been there before. You have to walk up a road to get to the summit, no footpath for that last part.

However, my friend had wanted a 9-10 miler, and was disappointed in the distance. But not TOO disappointed, seeing as lightning struck nearby TWICE, once when we were down by the Clover Spring junction, and the second time when we'd reached the car. Not much time at all between the flash and the loud bang. Yikes!
