Skatefarm - End of the Line
For this session at least.
The final day of skates took us over to Wills Ridge for some more mild countryside skating--not that there weren't some rather *long* downhills (rather than steep) to roll down. But since it was an "out-and-back" course, that long *downhill* was a long *uphill* as well. Sigh...
Of course skating isn't ALL that's done here. The afternoon had us hiking up to almost 4000 feet to the Summit of Buffalo Mountain. The haze had not totally returned which allowed an awesome view of miles of hills. The Buffalo's growing afternoon shadow covered half of the valley below as puffy Cumulus clouds drifted by. It was idyllic.
I can see how some people can really fall in love with this area.
Well...that's a wrap for this season I suppose. Hopefully some of the snapshots I took with my leetle digital camera came out. I'll try to post a few.
I have to get on the road here in a few minutes to head back home. Another group of SkateFarmers will be rolling in 3 days from now. And the beat goes on.

At least you don't have to skate home.

But...I think I really could have used a UV filter for some the mountain top shots. There is a *lot* of blue cast in some of the shots. I guess nothing a little Photoshop might not be able handle.
