Hi All,   We had a nice 4.44 mile hike today that started overcast but quickly gave way to brilliant sunshine.  Junko protected 8 women today, Janice, Kim, Effie, Carolyn, Leigh,  Jody, Lisa and Marsha. There were unwarranted concerns about mud after all the rain and although our boots got tacky with mud, it proved to be a needless worry, as most usually are.  We were entertained by the sound of the creek rushing over stones as we compared Thanksgiving stories and mishaps.  Carolyn won the prize with a family member breaking 3 teeth and a punctured lip. Over the dessert? The cooler weather reminded us that we certainly are in a delightful time if year.

Until next time….  Happy Trails, Marsha
