Twisty ride in the Mustang up to the Horine Campground and trailhead for Mitchell Lake. Steep accents and cold air made for a tough run. Nice little lake. Great view of the mountain sides. I have to come back in the fall.
Took a detour to see the Valley of the Drums where they used to dump toxic waste. They started cleaning up in 1983. Nice to see it mostly green today. 😀🌳
