610 Stomping Grounds

7 PAX gathered around 2 flags, enjoying the bright morning skies.  “I need some shades” commented Da Parish. Wisner bridge remains closed off, though the walkways look like they are nearing completion.  Soon we’ll be able to add that route to the regular routes.  But instead, since Rudy wants some …

Rocks, History and 11
