Another picture of the hike

Here's a picture that shows one of the sheer mud ledges. Jonathon, who is standing above the edge there, is much taller than six feet, to give you a sense of scale. That wall of mud there at the foreground is what compromised much of the trail. Imagine me holding on to that big root, pulling with all my might, little short legs scrambling against the dirt below. And imagine I am also grunting or going "roar" or something like that as I attempt to leverage myself up. That should kind of give you a basic impression of our hike.
