Hello all,
We had 7 TOWNIES today, Sarah, Effie, Carolyn, Maria, LisaF, Jenny, and Marsha who were all protected by courageous Bella, the lone canine companion today.
We completed the 4.6 mile trail today that featured never-traversed trails before by Sunday hikers, using little known trails that were created by man and beast to connect the better traveled trails.
We were able to make it down to the creek today and there was enough water for a doggie splash pad, but Bella had too much pride to splash in shallow water.
As we traveled west along the creek, Bella alerted us to a vulture that was about the size of a small car, easily noticed as it flew away with a distinctive flap of wings. What the vulture was enjoying as a breakfast we could not see, but then we thought maybe our pace was slower than usual and the vulture was just waiting….
We were able to see the start of spring with blooming wood violets and Lantana as the cardinals flitted about chirping and looking for nesting materials.
Until next time……
Happy Trails, Marsha
