Trying to add some mileage to my rehab hikes despite back and knee issues. Smooth tread made it possible and I hope to increase my distance and AEG in the coming weeks. I saw several hikers and bikers on the trail but nothing compared to what this place must be like on the weekends. The balanced rock is still balanced.

Brunch at Butter's afterwards. Good grub.
