We had  a hot  humid day for a hike on the western end of the Barton Creek Greenbelt but never the less, we had 8 TOWNies that hiked, June, Joy, Lisa, Jacque, Gail, Judy, Anne and Marsha, with Joan meeting us at the end of the hike to bring us cold watermelon.

We started at an entrance on the western end of the trail from Travis Country. We started out hot and humid and finished that way, but along the way we saw an amazing amount of greenery, huge spiders, nice flowers, some bass and some enchanting roaring waterfalls.

Even after a poll, it was not felt that this qualified as a death march.

The hike-keeper suggested that we had only gone 3 miles and burned a measly amount of calories but then it was noted that GPS was not able to be used in some sections so we must have done much more than we all thought!

All 8 hikers returned unscathed and were joined by Joan at the home owners park for the picnic lunch and feast of watermelon. We also fed the ducks and turtles, but it was noted that the turtles were not impressed today by lettuce but gobbled up the bread, risking great insults by the ducks who were also battling over the crumbs.

Until next time………

Happy Trails, Marsha
