Hi all, We had 6 TOWNies today, LisaS, LisaF, Kim, Jody, Debbie, and Marsha, who braved the heat, humidity and the navigation of creeks. Junko was the canine companion who saved us from a charging wild animal, that only she could see and hear. But she was on high alert the entire hike. I’d like to think of the creeks as “raging”, but honestly, mostly trickling into a mud bath.
The humidity made the hike seem longer and we started at a different entrance and took a trail I had not ever climbed before. It was nice and beautifu,l but we totaled a climb of 32 flights of stairs. Debbie was hoping that the good memories would remain after the hike and the pain would disappear, much like childbirth. Hence, that trail will be forever known as Childbirth Trail.
We were entertained by slips and slides in the mud and serenaded by a mourning dove, perhaps a harbinger of our trail-to be.
Until next time…. Happy Trails, Marsha
