Story
The trails on Bells Mountain are very well maintained. Even though this had some climb to it, nothing was super steep. No ledges, no logs to climb over, no boulders to rappel down. Was an easy trail over all. Has some good sites to see.
I was trying out my latest shade for the 360 camera (you can see it above my head in the above pic). This one is round. Mainly to keep rain off of the lenses while filming a trek. It worked great - of course it limits the 360 experience, so I primarily use it for non-360 footage.
