Hi all,
There were only 3 of us today, Lisa, Debbie, and Marsha. We were, however, joined by our faithful canine companion Junko. Marsha skipped church today, heaven forbid, so we went an extra hour of hiking. We traveled anywhere from 6.4 to 7.3 miles, depending on whose hike keeper we relied on. We liked the 7.3 distance best.
Debbie is planning a wonderful expedition to Peru, so we were doing our best to accommodate her and do longer hikes. We were not tantalized with too much wildlife on the Greenbelt, but we did see many turtles, snakes, millipedes and hikers. We went west and visited the area close to Lost Creek.
I must admit that toward the end of the hike we were talking about nothing but food. We decided that cream pies are delicious as well as fruitcake and any fruitcake donations are gladly accepted by Lisa and Marsha. Pecan pie was the unanimous choice of being the better fall pie. We were hoping that our faithful canine companion would start carrying a supply of coffee for us. I am doubtful….
We did have a sprinkle of about 10 rain drops. I am not sure if those few sprinkles contributed to our wet look, but as we were coming back we passed a cyclist who said “you look hot”. A discussion ensued as to whether he was referring to our sweaty condition or we were indeed hot babes that were extremely attractive. Since one of us had just commented about a smelly towel, it left us pondering as to our ability to still attract admirers.
It was really a split decision as to whether we were Hot Babes or sweaty babes. The unknown can be tantalizing, it turns out.
Overall it was a delightful hike with wonderful company. As Fall is to be arriving tomorrow, with the temperatures being just barely under 100ﾟ, it is time to start planning longer hikes and expeditions.
Until next time…..
Happy Trails, Marsha
