Hi all,  We had a nice group of 5 women today, Jody, Debbie, Jenny, Janice and Marsha,  who braved the wild woods today with no canine protection.   It was harrowing at times without the dogs, screams radiating from the depths of the canyons.  The screams were actually from the hikers  as we tackled hills today, resulting in us having to scoot at times to secure safe travels over the terrain.  We chatted continuously until we reached the hills and if I am not mistaken,  I thought I heard some lack of enthusiasm and possible cursing of the day I was born. We traveled only 3.4 miles but we felt valiant anyways since it was a hill day.

Until next time….. Happy Trails, Marsha
