It had rained for hours last night and there was no short supply of slick squish mud on the trails at Turkey Mountain. Clockwise--Polly, Bob, Glenn, Brian, and the Zombie posed for a quick pic with the help of the timer on my Olympus camera.
Nice shiny white shoes just before their baptism in MUD!We ran up the hill and through to the upper parking lot and westward to the 10K portion of the Turkey and Taturs course. Some of these trails are flat and easy, and the rest is rocky and treacherous....just the way I like it!
Welcome to the jungle! Bob and Polly find their way through a slightly overgrown trail.
There were lots of water crossings and water falls today.
Brian stops for a drink.... 
while Glenn stops to wash his hair!
Slipping and sliding down the hill.
Brian considers body-surfing the falls.
Go on, Brian! JUMP! You're holding up the line!
Along the way on the Snake trail, we stirred up a nest of hornets. Vicky had told me last week about getting stung somewhere through this section, and today, they nailed Bob. He was stung on the arm and just below his neck. Nice welt, dude!We ended up with 7.2 miles or pretty close to it. It was a good run.
Polly considers going out for another 3-4 miles, while Glenn is all grins thinking about the cold beer waiting for him at home!
