Last day of our camping trip, we made the most of it as DL, Dusty and I managed to hike up the Indian Trail to the saddle between Clark and Todd Mountains.

Rain throughout the night upon our tent, but we stayed dry enough in the Mohawk Trail State Forest's large, tall white pine.   

Drove into Shelbourne Falls to run the Bridge of Flowers 10km (42:13), and we swam in the Glacial Potholes at Salmon Falls afterward.
