Apr 6 High Five Peak Challenge


The calm before the challenge. We are in place at our post; Cooks Wall summit, ready to punch the summit cards of over 300 participants in today's High Five Peak Challenge. Friends of Sauratown Mountains' inaugural event at Hanging Rock State Park starts early for volunteers. We are manning this, the third summit, of today's event. It begins socked in but soon opens up into a beautiful blue sky day.  

That's me on the finger

Its a popular spot to take a break
