CASPAR LOGGING ROADS

It was a little chilly this morning, but not too bad.  We met at "the scales" on J.S.F. Road 500.  It was 42 degrees under bright blue and calm skies.

Most of the group chose to start out going uphill, six of us started downhill.  Going down today seemed tiring but coming back uphill, I was happy that I chose what I did.  It was really a good morning for a run or a hike.  There is still a lot of loose rock on Road 600, so if you're going for a bike ride, 500 is the better choice.

When we started at 8:00, Cyd was starting her second six mile.  When we finished at 9:00, Cyd was starting her third six mile, with another one to do after that!  Just two weeks from now, she will be running her 100 Mile Zion Run!
