Beating the heat

First two quests done -- Swallow Falls and Herrington Manor. On my way to No. 3, Deep Creek.

Temperature rising fast from an overnight low of 51.

It's a race to see how far I can get before it hits 90.

The first quest was a beautiful hike along a series of falls. A refreshing start to the day.

Quest 2 was an orienteering exercise that I accomplished with the help of park naturalist Jeremy Sidebottom, who pointed out some interesting plant life. We scared three young deer grazing at the edge of a meadow.

The Quest continues.
