Creeper, redux

Today, as part of the last hurrah of summer, I took Eli and Briggs back to the Virginia Creeper Trail. It's a rail roadbed that's been converted into a biking/hiking trail. We went back in April with Scouts, but that was a cold and rainy day. Today we had much better weather. The boys had a nice time. We sprang for shuttle service to the top of the trail ($40), but it was worth it in terms of no-hassle. Back in April we saw this pool in the river that tracks the trail, but it was way too cold to go near it. Briggs had no such worries today.

Briggs says, "I slipped and fell in, honest!"  "Accidentally-on-purpose," no doubt!
