Second Annual Mega Magnolia Transect

20160910_095204After last year’s rousing success of the Mega Magnolia Transect, I decided to run it again this year and add some additional trails.  Another Rising Sun 4×4 Club member joined me.  If this keeps up, maybe next year we’ll have three Toyotas on the run!

Our first trail of the trip was Kingston Peak Trail.  The flag at the rock house looking over Loch Lomond recently was replaced.
