afternoon - 10 Black Ridge. I've always wondered about this trail off the freeway going up the Black Ridge, and last week Decker mentioned it as well. So, today I went up there and went exploring. The trail isn't too bad in most places and is very runnable. A couple places the lava is pretty tough, but very limited areas. Really enjoyed the run and saw some cool stuff - some pretty blue birds that had a wierd call I'd never heard, a huge trantula as large as my hand, and an enormous gopher snake with beautiful golden color and brown markings (it was over 5 feet long!). Toward the end of the run I was feeling pretty blah, but I enjoyed the run and the new trail. (Peg green 416.25)
