Since I finished the C&O Canal, I plan on returning to doing Appalachian Trail day / segment hikes. There's a lot of up & downs on the AT, and I am doing intervals on North Mountain that match the elevation profiles of those segments. In addition, I want to do some more straight elevation.

Black Mountain was first, and I could knock it our quick -- if 90 minutes for two miles is "quick" -- since we got other things going on this week. A few folks heading down as I was going up, but tons going up as I was heading down. I swear I did it faster than last year, but nope, 5 min. slower. No @BobP sighting.

Was the trail just above the pavement [ photo ] realigned since last year?
