What a lovely day for a hike! Eight TOWNies joined me for a 5.3 mile hike. We had the trail mostly to ourselves and spotted only one hiker with a dog and three horseback riders cooling off in the river the entire time. I did have a little difficulty locating one trailhead and a new navigator was appointed (see photo of the new navigator consulting the map.) The humidity was low and the the flowers were very pretty. We saw LOTS of butterflies but they weren’t in the mood to pose for pictures. There was lively discussion about trail equipment and I believe some of the ladies headed straight home to place an order for a recommended item. Can’t say anything more because what is discussed on the trail, stays on the trail. After the hike, we enjoyed some cold watermelon at the shaded picnic tables. Lovely morning with good friends! Hope you can join us next time.
