Hi all, We had 9 hikers, Sarah, Jacque,  Kim, Effie,  Debbie,  Janice,  Jenny, Carolyn and Marsha,  protected by doggie wonders, Bella and Sheba.  We hiked 4.2 miles and were spurred on by watermelon dreams.  My brother and his wife delivered several watermelons yesterday,  the largest at 49 lbs. Under the threat of never hiking again,  they all had containers and were loaded up with watermelon to take home.

The dreams of watermelon almost took precedent over running creek, baby toads and flowers showcasing summer beauty.  It was a fine  morning.

Until next time.. Happy Trails, Marsha
