It was a lonely, last minute ride up GMR today. Sundays are typically reserved for Church, but with the whole family sick, I was able to sneak in a GMR ride. GMR was quiet with only a handful of hikers, motorcyclists and cyclist. I made it to East Fork in a fair amount of time before turning around and heading home.
On the way up, I spotted "Puffy" the resident dragon and protectorate of GMR. I snapped a picture and sang Puff the Magic Dragon while coming down.
