A trail festival at New River Gorge

Laura and I at a New River Gorge trail festival in June 2025, in front of a bear mural. This was later the same day I finished my first 50k. It was still warm, around 79, under a cloudy evening sky.

The mural was an easy backdrop, and we stood there together after the race. I had finished at the Wolf Creek arch earlier in the day, and this was the easy, happy end of it.
