Well, we had such a good visit Wednesday, talking and walking and talking.  The creek water was a bit higher and moving rapidly.  Seven of us met at 8:30:  DawnK, Jacque (& Sheba), KathleenC (& Baby and Mamie), KobyF, Lisa, PegG, and StephanieN.  Lisa is a friend of Koby’s and Stephanie and fit in just fine.  One of the group fell on the second creek crossing and reported the water was wet and cold and the rock hard.  Cannot recall who that was.  Conversation topics ranged from:  the Austin School for the Deaf and how masks make American Sign Language more difficult, retirement, sharing a car with your husband, traveling to California for the holidays, geocaching and travel bugs and sizes of caches from micros to camo boxes and caching in Amsterdam, birding in Port Aransas, kayaking and kayak car lifts and folding kayaks, drinking coffee versus hot tea, the TOWN Holiday Party on Jan. 8th, day passes for the state parks, dog treats and how some dogs eat them and some don’t and will dogs eat wet treats, how Baby is getting used to being out with you, how Mamie loves the water, and I guess that’s all for that hike.

The next hike will be Wednesday, Dec. 29th at 8:30 am.  KathleenC will be leading.  Contact Kathleen at 512- 626-3163 or to RSVP.  Please do so by 5 pm Tuesday.  Jacque
