Mickelson Trail – Chilson Bridge to Minnekahta Trailhead: thunderstorms, Bullsnakes, and cattle drives

On Sunday afternoon, May 16, we completed the second stage of our Mickelson Trail project, riding from Minnekahta Trailhead to Chilson Bridge and back again to the trailhead.  We started under threat of thunderstorms off to the north, but they kept moving north and east, while we rode south to Chilson Bridge, though we did encounter a few raindrops along the way.  Besides those raindrops, we also met a couple of Bullsnakes who were engaged in  multiplying their species, and got caught up in a small cattle drive – seems that the lower parts of the Mickelson are designated as a multi-use trail!
