A nice clear-out-the-body-and-get-over-an-early-season-cold jog at Maxwell Falls, a local, hidden Forest Service gem.
Easy five miles on the trails around the Maxwell Falls parcel off Brook Forest Road. The trails were damp and tacky following a late afternoon rain shower. The sun peeked out a few times, brightening the trail and opening up the views here and there. Maya enjoyed the creeks and the easy romp.

| Saw this feller on the way home, standing about 30 yards from busy Evergreen Parkway. His harem of cows was off to the right. |
The bonus for this run is that I think it helped me finally kick the cold that's been hammering me since Monday. Onwards!
