Lots of rocks exposed today. There has been a great deal of erosion over the past year. There are places where recent slides have occured with debris and rocks at the bottom of the bluff.

A sad day for Mile 220, although the weather was amazing it was super hard and sad to see the tar globs in the mid-section of my mile.
