Hi all,
We had 5.5 women and 1.5 dogs today on our Sunday hike. We had guest Maria, and Effie, Lisa, Kim and Marsha, along with half of Carolyn and half of Patchy, but a full Junko.
Sounds confusing. Carolyn went about 1 mile and after we mentioned hills today, she conveniently remembered that she had to be home to take care of her grandchildren while Grandpa played basketball. It was agreed that COULD be a realistic reason to leave early, but then Lisa also stated that she had grandchildren to care for at home. Since we had never heard of any grandchildren before, it was felt that her story was probably a desperate and pathetic attempt to avoid hills today.
The hike was a little gray and overcast, but Nanook, aka Effie, was bundled up, ready to face the North Pole storms. All that was missing was the red nose reindeer to guide us.
We trudged up the hills and had a nice 4.75 hike today, or most of us did.
Until next time….
Happy Trails, Marsha
