Happy New Year TOWNies!
It was so good to see so many familiar faces at the 2018 Holiday Party! We missed those of you who weren’t there and hope to see you soon at another TOWN event.
If memory serves, twenty two (22) of us gathered with hopes of hiking the Homestead Trail on what turned out to be a very nice weather day for hiking. However, we could not find a good place to cross the creek to the trail without getting wet. We were all in agreement that wasn’t a good plan. So, we went to plan B:) We hiked along the creek passing under the Rock Shelter (this limestone overhang has provided shelter for over 4,000 years), seeing huge cypress trees of several hundred years in age until we connected with the Onion Creek Trail. Unfortunately, the bridge and part of the trail was closed due to construction on the visitor/interpretive center. There were a couple of bird sighting but they were scarce. We hiked approximately 2.8 miles.
We had a great time visiting and catching up with old friends and making new friends as we had several new members joining us for the first time.
A special thanks to Jackie D and Carol C for their help in trail selections:)
Cheers,
Jenny
