Hike coordinator: John Malone
Narration by Rheo Wheeler
This hike was initially planned for Cape Arago. But due to crowded conditions on the highway and possible downed trees from a weather system, it was changed to something closer to home: Good old North Bank Habitat, the tried-and-true friend of the uphill hike.
John chose the Soggy Bottom trail on which no bottoms became soggy, but we did encounter an overprotective skunk who commandeered our path. He finally relented without spraying and we continued on our way. We traveled clockwise up to the powerline and then continued to the top where the weather station overlooks the minions below. If you look closely at the photo, you will notice all the smiles even after the 1800 feet of elevation gain. We all felt very accomplished and impressed by the awesome views. We came down via the black tail trail completing an 8+ mile loop.
