SCUM swim the Birch Bakken

SCUM set out to “swim” the Birch Bakken

Most of the SCUM aren’t discouraged by a little rain, or cold temperatures, or heat. However, today one of our regulars opted for Planet Fitness over Birch Hill Recreational Area. Here’s what he missed:

Goggles were suggested but optional on the Birch Bakken today
Carl looks skyward for inspiration and fresh water
Birch Bakken from lap 1 to 2 on map was 3.97 km with 195 m of climb

Unlike the Seine, water quality remained high on the Birch Bakken in spite of steady rain.

No SCUM took the mud wallowing challenge, but our most gullible member was not with us. No marmots were observed on the trails although some blooming lupines remained. It was the day for seeing and stepping upon the fungus among us.
