Matson Hill trails with SC. Very impressed by GORC's trail-building and maintenance. Those switchbacks are sure long and frequent.

Trial hike at Babler scouting out a route for SC hike some Friday. Tried to include two rustic trail/off-trail legs. These will probably be more appealing to SC later in the fall. A couple ticks, no PI, no chiggers. Big, old trail/road down from the water tower at Alta Shelter (totally rebuilt after fire, at last), has disappeared - sunniest parts are thick with raspberries..

To MBG for reading and walking.

To JB and back via Maplewood. Hadn't ridden this route for several months. As expected, overpass over Chippewa is complete. Also rode 'new' Greenway route from NE corner of Carondelet Park to River Des Peres Greenway - impressive: wide and lots of iron fencing and large boulders as wall. Perhaps 1 mile long.

Last nine holes of JB Disc Golf course. MUCH more interesting than the N County park I'd tried. Several holes near or in the woods. I lost no discs but spent considerable time looking for holes and tees. Fun.
