Twelve Tramps hiked 9.5 miles to the Woodhull Mountain fire tower on a beautiful July day.
The trail was generally flat and made for an easy walk for the first four miles.

It then became a gradual climb, ending at the fire tower. Even though the tower look-out room was not accessible, the view from the upper level was nice. The tower steps provided a great setting for a group photo.

“Hats off” (or maybe it should be “hats on”) to the hikers who caught deer flies with those priceless hat patches. It was obvious that the pesky little creatures loved having humans around!

The hike back to the trailhead was pleasant and, as always, seemed shorter than the trip in. The conversation and thirst-quenchers on the deck at Kratzy’s rounded off a great day!!
