I parked at the Cabins instead of at Tranquility Road. I had looked at too many trail definitions the night before and once I got to the park I got confused on which one we were running. I stood at the cabins and waited for Richard until I decided I better check my phone. Sure enough I had a message from Richard stating that he had started his run at Tranquility Road. So I gave him a call and turns out that he was headed my way down the Red Trail. So I took off to meet him.
I ran a portion of the Red Trail to meet Richard and was sucking air bad by the time I met him. It felt like my lungs were full of water. We ran back by the Cabins and on out to Maggie's Glen. I wondered who Maggie was as we went through the glen. We hung a right up the Yellow Trail. That is a really nice trail that I think I have only been on once before. Further up it there is Camp Site #2 that I would like to camp at one day.
We passed the camp site and arrived at the back of the lake near the old Cabins. We went around the lake and down by the Dam. At the picnic area I ran across the bridge and hung a right back up toward the Dam. Richard kept on running toward the main road to get back to his truck.
I picked up a water bottle and a Mountain Dew bottle that some ding bat had left behind as trash. I staggered up the trail next to the Dam and headed toward my Jeep parked near the Cabins. I saw a guy fishing in the lake and ran straight through a very muddy, wet spot near the cabins. Made it to my Jeep and threw the trash in a trash can there. There was a drink machine there so I put some money in to get some bottled water. However it was out of water so I settled on a Gatorade.
I got in the Jeep and headed on out of there.
