Ingalls Creek — Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2023

Did my usual 5-mile, out-and-back jaunt from the trailhead. The maples were brilliant yellow, the soft thrum of the creek accompanied us the whole time and the sky was a brilliant blue. Didn't spot a single rattlesnake, which was a plus since I had dogs with me, and only passed a couple of other hikers during my 2.5 hour ramble.
