Title:  RBMN 425 at Glen Onoko
Description:  There's an open rock perch above the Turn Hole Tunnel that I've looked up at for years, and I finally decided to hike up there for a photo while 425 was running. It's a brief (10 minutes) but strenuous hike that yields this photo angle. Kinda like a poor man's drone shot.
