Nice, I actually took the effort to find the map of the MTS where the BRP crosses Sweeten Creek road and I think I'll be taking a pre-work Monday trail run since that's part of my commute. Thanks for mentioning it and re-sparking my memory that there actually is trail along the commuter section hahaha

I think you wore out the bears. They got tired of trying to keep up with and took a rest day today.

Other than the humidity, sounds like a perfect run! You get to see so much wildlife on the trails. Nice job with that elevation climb!
