Sounds like you had quite a time! The red clay here is a mess to clean up! I once got locked into Bond Park in Raleigh looking for the Bond, Fred Bond series. It taught me to park outside the park gates if I were to be boxing in a race against daylight. Hope the stamp was worth it! Maybe you should consider bringing a change of shoes with you at all times, LOL.

We can vouch for the level of clay on your shoes. We visited the park a couple of days after heavy rains as well and felt like we were carrying bricks on the soles of our shoes. If you can picture it we were actually pushing our son in a jogging stroller through all of the trails for box 1 & 2. Needless to say, not an easy task.

I can't image a stroller on that Ridge Trail! I was sliding down the side of the gully as it was!! I consider myself lucky that I didn't slide down and really get clay everywhere. I was so happy to get back to that asphalt on the handicapped access trail. That's when I took my shoes off and started the cleaning process. I was still scraping clay off of them in the restroom at Sonny's BBQ!
