We're almost to halfway in our 52-Hike Challenge this year, our return trip on Sunday to Lost River State Park in Mathias WV being number 25. This is a hike that we did on Super Bowl Sunday of this year and liked so much that we vowed to return. This post is just going to be a photo-essay. You can go to the
