Hi all,
There were only 2 TOWNIES today, Effie and myself, who challenged the hills with a fast- paced hike that left us climbing and experiencing amazing views in what we affectionately called the zipper route.
We will never be able to recreate this hike, but we did get 4.35 miles on a very fast paced hike. I was curious as to where these intersecting trails would take us and so we followed them. Our feet were happy feet as we traversed up-and-down, more up than down, and were treated to desolate looking ragweeds begging for water, one lonely cardinal who was too tired to chirp, and the rocks on the Creek bed that looked like white dried bones baked by the sun in the desert.
The sun shone brightly on the rocks and shadows were few, making the landscape look like a harbinger of the Halloween that is to come.
Although Effie and I appear to be separated by a foot in height we walked comfortably together and enjoyed a nice time. Or I did…. We are looking forward to continuing our journey with the TOWNIES next week.
Until next time….
Happy Trails, Marsha
