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.
