Bennies Brook to Gothics
July 2012

We got almost the last spots in the Garden	descending to the south side trail	which has changed
crossing	no longer a route to the left	we cross to the right and recross
into rift brook	a nice break by the stream	no longer an hour scoot to the base of the slide; it comes to the trail
soon onto rock	beautiful rock	we pose
lotys to go	a good place for bocci	rain, drizzle, mist get worse
the old slide and new split	we take the new	upward
tha last 50 feet are too steep	we easily follow ferns to the trail	but the trail isn't so easy
		the best view from lower wolfjaw
sky lightens	we lunch at 2 on upper wolfjaw with views	stretching for the return to the trail
the armstrong ladder	and climb	Armstrong offers great views
reaching tree line on gothics	fine views	a pose
bee on the mountain sandwort	tree with a view	some wind
some descent	some views	more descent
more trees	more descent	descending from the col
trail workers	onto the orebed slide	new staircase
near the bottom of the slide	slime	lovely slime
some bridge
