Alex's 7 mile hike.

It's been a hot one in Richmond since arriving on Saturday, though there was a bit of a respite Monday morning. Alex, Nuala, and I took advantage of the cool morning and went on a hike down the North Bank Trail and back home on the South Bank Trail, with a few stops for dips in the James River and a picnic out on Belle Island.
7 mile hike folks... These boys and Nuala were pooped after our walk.
 Top Left - Mile Zero.... Across the Nickel Bridge and we dropped down to the trail at Maymont. The Maymont Bears were keeping cool somewhere out of site.

  1. Hmmmm....I should have warned Alex about the "death marches" that tend to occur in your company. Although, that hike sounds long but looks divine!
