Hi All, We had 5 hikers today, Effie, Kim, Carolyn, Jody and Marsha, who all gathered after the rain to hike 3.9 miles in a brisk morning. Although it started out cool, it was a very nice hike as the weather was perfect with very little mud. Carolyn brought Christmas cookies for us to munch, some of her beautifully decorated sugar cookies shaped as Christmas trees. We included a few hills today so we felt worthy of the cookie. Nary a crumb was left. Since the Canine Protection Team was sleeping in today, I tried to locate a previous trail that I had bushwhacked that was filled with deer, but alas, no luck today although that took us through some meadows and cacti. No injuries today, but we all were taking turns ducking under branches. A new branch crossed our path and I turned and made sure the hikers knew that there was a change in the path. Of course, I then impaled myself on a different new branch. Alas, the adventures never end with the Sunday Hikers. Holiday plans were discussed and visions of sugar plums danced in our heads. Actually, it was the thought of coffee that propelled us back home.
Until next time…. Happy Trails, Marsha
