2021-08-05 - Sligo and Long Branch Trail

 

~4.0 mi @ ~16.6 min/mi

"Go Amnesty International!" Young yellow-jerseyed volunteers return the salute as they gather at a street corner on a warm Thursday afternoon. Two miles of walk-jog along the paved Sligo Creek path include at least a dozen bridges – it's hard to keep count! At the confluence with Long Branch discover a rocky-hilly return trail: crawl under deadfalls, skirt poison ivy patches, and teeter over a couple of slightly sketchy-slippery stream crossings. Flashback to treks in years past and visits to friends (e.g., 2018-03-11 - Mole Mural)
