Biting Flies @ Red Mountain

It was a nice, cool summer day (80 degrees) yesterday for a family hike up to Red Mountain.  Put the top down on the jeep, 

cruised there (50 minutes), hiked (good except for the biting flies along the small stream in the beginning),

 

and had a picnic (hotdogs and Guinness brats),

 

 

wrapped the day up with a cold brew from the Mayor of Old Town.  Nice day!
