For those who like numbers, here's how I would describe today's hike at Island Ford. The asphalt hill, we did it twice.  Add one lollipop loop and you have exactly six miles and 1046 feet of ascent in two hours, zero minutes. In the last half mile we met one snake. It was a big black snake, four and a half to five feet long. It all added up to one hard workout with screams and thrills thrown in for good measure. I bet there are seventeen who will be relieved when Joyce returns to lead next week, including myself.
