Silver Star Mountain

June 26, 2007
        It was an adventure just getting to the trailhead today, what with logging trucks, closed roads, water-filled potholes, and ruts.  But we got there.  Then we had to contend with fierce winds that made the precipitous parts of Ed's trail hazardous, so the whole group used the old road.  But eventually we got to the summit and back, and the vistas were outstanding!
        Keith Henson led this outing for the Tryon Creek Daytrippers.  Thank  you, Keith; it was great!
