Hey Hikers! Well, we were certainly the hot hikers today. KimW, KathleenC with Baby & Mamie, and Jacque with Sheba met in the parking lot at TC with the temp at 46 degrees. Long pants or tights and long sleeves were in order. The recent rains added to the creek moisture, but our shoes did not get soaked. We chatted pretty much nonstop about: twin mattresses, how thick can they possibly be and needing a foot stool; custom fit orthotics, shoe inserts for back pain, high arches, flat feet, foot pain, and Dr. Scholl’s; where to travel next – Scotland, Ireland, Arizona, Minnesota, or northern Costa Rica; stubborn dogs names Sheba Louise; Fiona and her health; coyote season and dog protection; River Place – no charges for hiking during the week, the need for sticks, how few hikers were on the trail, and 6 miles felt long; eye issues – torn retinas, how cataracts form, why some newborns have lens issues, Macular Degeneration, and glaucoma; various Texas State Parks and very different they are, where to go camping next; the Meetup Women Over 50 group and their activities. Guess that’s about it.
Come join us! It’s never dull! Jacque
