Training Hike 2 - Murray Branch Sites

South Mountains State Park - Mile 0 - May 26th, 2018

Oddly enough I was hoping for rain. I figured it would be a good test for me as well as my gear. Unfortunately we didn't get the amount of rain I was expecting.
Friday night I hiked 2 miles to the Upper Falls Campsites. Saturday I hiked 2 miles on the Upper Falls Trail to the HQ Trail to the Shinny Creek Campsites to meet with Scott. From their it was 6 miles to camp. Sunday we hiked 6 miles the Lower CCC to the Upper CCC to the Possum Trail to Shinny Creek to the parking lot.
In the end we hiked a total of 16ish miles. I did test my gear for light rain and consistent dampness. Both the gear, Scott and I survived. But it did prompt me to make a rain skirt, add pit zips to my Frogg Togg rain jacket and Scott to purchase a new rain jacket.
