Late start to my day but still wanted to get out and explore a park for the project. There was potential for a storm and/or rain but it never came. I kind of wish it did since the bug were out of control on my hike, just non stop! Could have used some rain or stronger wind. Made it to 4-5 miles and called it quits. After my hike I went up the firetower/observation tower. Enjoyed the fantastic 360 degree views above the tree canopy. Had some fun with camera angles on my way back down or was it up... Humm might need to look closer at the photo. I then checked out the Kettle River Highbanks outlook and blew up Nala. Hit the river at the Head of the Rapids launch point.
