Hello all,

We had 6 hikers today, Debbie,  Jacque,  Kim, Lisa, Carolyn  and Marsha,  along with the jubilant return of Sheba the Diva and Junko, our most loyal canine  hikers.

Sheba returned after taking two weeks off after recovering from a coyote attack. Junko kept us in line with her constant counting of members present,  thus showing her shepherdress  skills. Sheba and Jacque peeled off early as Sheba was still in recovery mode.

One hiker missing was Effie, but she was recovering from poison ivy from two weeks ago when she slipped and fell into poison ivy. But, we TOWNIES, loyal to our friends, stopped at the poison patch and paid homage to Effie. Pictures were taken at the sacred sight.

As so many things happened to the Sunday TOWNIE  Hikers over the past two weeks, we were sure we had a curse cast upon us. To celebrate the expiration of the curse, we had brunch afterwards and Joan joined us for the feast.

It is also Bastille Day and we also learned that it was Debbie’s  birthday and the one year anniversary of Lisa’s broken ankle.

All of these reasons to celebrate left us so giddy with delight  that we almost forgot the HOT HUMID FAST 4.3 miles that we conquered. 

Overall,  it was nice to celebrate many things.

Until  next time….

Happy Trails,  Marsha
