Morice Mountain Summer Challenge in Houston

Good fun seeing so many folks out at the trails, in many different modes last weekend. There were almost 100 registrants. Saturday brought out several Smithereens, mostly runners - all of whom said they will come back to ski this winter - while Sunday seemed to be more Houstonite bikers and walkers. Both days there were a perfect mix of sun and cloud with dry trails. There was a donation drop box where $450 was raised. (Angelique Houlihan photos/Houston Today)
