Hi all, We had a hot and sweaty hike today that is so typical of Texas, but perhaps a little worse this year. Brave souls included Kim, Effie, Jacque with Sheba, Jenny, Carolyn, Janice, Kathleen and Marsha. We traveled 4.4 miles over parched land that bore no resemblance to the spring fling of months ago when we were treated to raindrops. There were some hills, but fewer this time as we tried to maintain our fading energy in the heat. It must have been a hot day as we stopped for many water breaks, but no potty breaks! Time was spent catching up on vacations and reports of cool weather in the lands far away and now only in our dreams. There was no water in the creek and very few birds, only hawks, and no chatty squirrels. Dust was our constant companion as our shoes created a curtain of dust as we walked, hiding some mischievous branches and rocks that we mostly avoided, except for a few that lunged at us and tripped us. No injuries except for our pride.
Until next time… Happy Trails, Marsha
