Five of us hiked this morning, finishing by 10:30, but it was still quite warm. (Afterwards the air conditioning felt soooo perfect!)  CarolC, CarolynH (with six year old granddaughter Mamie), Gail, and Sallie joined me for this effort.

We hiked 2.15 miles with a moving average of 1.7 mph. The creek was full and moving well, and the waterfall was lovely. And let’s give young Mamie lots of credit — she hiked the entire way, spotted water striders, and carried her own binoculars.

Attached are several photos. The Mountains Pinks were in full bloom. The scat (1.5 inches long and 0.5 inches wide) is from a road runner.
