From River Rd., out and back on the Cabin John Trail, to Seven Locks Rd. via the Cabin John Trail. I had spent much of the day at my mom's house but stopped here on the way home. It was near sunset. I wasn't sure how far I'd go but the light seemed good enough at Bradley Blvd., for me to go on. The sun had officially set before the turnaround. Much of the trail had been improved, mostly by moving it. Despite the rains all day yesterday, and the trail being known to be muddy, most of it was fairly dry. A lot of parts had been moved up slope away from the creek. As a result, it was slightly hillier. I wasn't climbing well but kept a stead comfortable effort. It was rather dark returning and the improved trail kept me from stumbling on roots and rocks. I couldn't see far ahead but my eyes were adjusted enough to see the ground just in front of me. I ran up on several deer, spooking them.
