Jim starts down the stairs on the novel section, henceforth to be known as "Fred's Wrong-Way Trail" because of all the hike-a-bike we did, mostly pushing our bikes up the steep, rocky trail.

He made it to the bottom with no dabs, but normally he waves at the camera when he rides by.

He made it around the bend, but what happened after that I didn't see. The section in this photo is about 1/3 of the way to the top of this rocky climb.

Riders arrive as Jim finds the clue behind the bush. He's not bashful about announcing it to the world!
