The 12-mile gradual descent to Kelso is fun, but I usually have a headwind that slows me down considerably, like I do today

I'm in disbelief that I screwed up this short hike! If the sun weren't so hot and I weren't sweating so much, I would just continue to Cornfield Spring. I would also continue if I knew that the spring has a bit of water for me, but I don't know that.
