Dad and I did our 10 miles today. We have been walking/linear-hiking the Banks-Vernonia Trail for the past few months. It is 21 miles long so we have been tackling it in Saturday morning chunks. As of today we have walked every inch of those 21 miles, some portions several times.
Today's adventure took us through the usual amazing old-growth forest and a very recent rock slide complete with huge downed trees & boulders across the trail. We came across the original Snail Trail: dozens of little snails with their shells on their backs crossing the path! And we saw beautiful little white and even pink trillium. We did see a handful of other folks, mostly bikers.
Good times were had by all but Dad's favorite part was the Dairy Queen at the end. (And I didn't hate the Midnight Chocolate Truffle Blizzard.) Interesting tidbit: my pedometer says I walked 22025 steps.
PS: It didn't rain! Just a few sprinkles, but a very pleasant day in the woods.

Maybe next time we come visit it won't be rainy and we can go on the trail. It sounds quite nice!
