NMM:

A fun morning stroll with weight on our backs was filled with thought-provoking conversations as we tried to keep up with Maddie.  The humidity, though present, relented from the past week’s levels.  YHC promised that the hill on Walker Street would be the last big one….only for at least four more big ones to greet us along the route.  ~265 of total elevation gain.  #Kobains.
