McCulloch Peak

Today Ben and I hiked up McCulloch Peak, the highest peak in McDonald Forest, with our friends Phil and Katie. Granted, it's a tiny peak at 2,200 feet, but a decent hike all the same on forest roads surrounded by pleasant woods. The hike uphill definitely wore me out! At the top, we had a picnic of potato salad, French bread, cheese, salami, and other foodstuffs Ben picked up from Market of Choice (I admit it, I just wanted to use the word foodstuffs). Ben took some stunning photos of this cornflower/bachelor's button on the way back down:
