Archer's Fork, Ohio (Aug 13, 2022)

I hiked the Archer's Fork loop (13mi, 2500ft elevation gain) in Ohio's Wayne National Forest yesterday. My previous time was in Nov 2020, when the leaves were mostly off the trees. I'd wanted to see how it would look in all its lush glory. Well, I don't know whether to classify the hike as good - a couple of beautiful caves and a natural bridge - or miserable - spider webs hanging across the entire trail, and flying beasties that feasted on me throughout.
