It was another beautiful day as 5 TOWNies, Carolyn, Kim, Debbie, Lisa and Marsha, were joined by canine companions Junko, Abby and Patchy, who was visiting at Camp Grandma.
We only completed 3.7 miles but we had many uphill climbs that slowed us down. One rescue mission was initiated as Carolyn lost a glove and as the TOWN motto states ” No TOWNie left behind “, we backtracked and located the glove that had been left in the frigid weather. Sadly, despite the best efforts at revival, the glove was declared DOA when given back to Carolyn. But, she can feel some comfort getting the glove back, which was quickly put back on and offered warmth to a cold hand.
Yesterday, at the Holiday Party, we started with 21 hikers for the 10:00 hike but only returned with 12. Um, not sure how the motto works for the lost TOWNies, but we are hoping that they have a good year wandering around lost at McKinney Falls and that we can locate them next year on our hike then.
Until next time….
Happy Trails, Marsha
