Afternoon TOWN Members!  Four of us – AnnaE, KathleenC with Baby and Mamie, and Jacque with Sheba – started from the parking lot talking about last night’s monthly meeting and how much we enjoyed the speaker, Travis Jaz.  All three canines were eager to be on the trail, sniffing, and checking the creek water.  The trail condition has been improved, more limbs having been trimmed, but doing the limbo or straddling the limbs is still helpful.  There is still lots to be done with chainsaws by the City of Austin.  We discussed using a hiking stick, which route to take, and additional parks that offer hiking routes like:  St. Ed’s on Spicewood Springs Road, Bull Creek Park, Walnut Creek Park, and Lady Bird Lake Trail.  AnnaE didn’t bring her dog, but we learned he is a Chiweenie — also known as a choxie — is a cross between a Chihuahua and a dachshund and knows the command Sidewalk; she definitely likes to travel and is headed to Napal soon; it’s fun to hear her plans.  KathleenC is headed to Las Vegas soon for her daughter’s wedding, planning to attend the amazing Cirque du Soleil shows while there, and eat well!  Jacque spent the hike keeping an eye on Sheba today.

Come hike with us!  We enjoy talking and catching up with each other.  The trail presents a good environment, and we enjoy folks we encounter!
