Gold Mint Trail Run

I started out just hiking but found that the Gold Mint Trail is so wide and smooth now that I decided to run instead.  There are some signs of fall, but like most other areas, many of the leaves have gone straight to brown due to this summer's drought.  It's still just as beautiful and wild as always.  The farther in I went, the more it started to rain. But it was just a light misty rain.  I had to cut it short at 4 miles so I could get back to cell service to make a phone call.  But it was a lovely workout and run, even in my hiking shoes instead of my running shoes.
