Trumbull- Turtle Rock and the Orange Stream Hill

Pequonnock River Valley State Park - September 5, 2005

Turtle Rock
Our favorite spot - many a weekend has been spent here...
(behind the log in the middle of the rocky stream is a swimming hole -
we built up the dam to create it)

Awesome Rocks
(at the top of a long trek - I didn't attempt the descent!)

Pre-Crevasse
(a wonderland for mountain bike adventures...)

   

Chain Loose by the Orange Stream
(Mr. Fix-it resetting his chain)

Mini Stream before Hill
the hill behind Greg is a rough climb, but at the top is the awesome red trail
(rock gardens galore on a winding single track)

Mini Stream before Hill (2)
Charge over the stream and stones and plow up the hill with all your might ...
(you won't make it!)
