Hi all,
We has five dusty hikers today, Jenny, Jacque, Effie, Lisa and Marsha along with two coyote-safe canines, Junko and Sheba. Sheba experienced some opportunity to have off-lead hike today when we were on the very dry creek bed and I am happy to report was not challenged by any coyotes, attacked by coyotes, or spotted by coyotes. A nice change.
The moon is waning now and it was pouring water this morning so perhaps we can get some rain this week, but today the Greenbelt was dry and we all kicked up dust as we walked the 4.12 miles. Several of us tripped a few times, perhaps because it was so dry and dusty that we could not see where we were going. Really, we all looked a little like Pigpen in Charlie Brown by the time we finished, but we had a nice time. We had a nice cloud of dust that was settling around us. Jacque felt that we did not have a challenging enough hike today, so for the last mile, we traveled up hill, hidden in the trees and surrounded by tired birds that could only stare at us.
The promise of Fall is here as the morning was cooler than normal and we can only hope for more cool weather to come.
Until next time……
Happy Trails, Marsha
