Rocky Mountain /Brown Mountain Loop - August 6, 2016

submitted by Dan Ralston

     Dan Ralston and Gabriel Garretson led nine very courageous hikers on a hike described by one of the group as: “Hikes that are defined by the weather are the most talked about later for years to come. This will be one of them for me!” Those on the hike included Jeanne Densmore Ralston, Kelly O’Rourke, Charles Staples, Brad Young, Pete Fink, David Crowe, Claire Cline, Patrick Cory and Keith Cain.  This hike included it all.  Perfect sunny weather, beautiful vistas and green views of new growth in a forest of burned trees, multiple stream crossings, then lightening and pouring rain and a couple of zillion people eating bugs that were resistant to Off and to Deet.  All eleven of us will not soon forget this ‘memorable’ 10 mile hike through the burned forest.
