Maureen sent me these pix from today - and what a talented photographer she is!! I will turn the blog over to John since I'm sure you don't want to hear about spending 3 hours at Sac Zoo with a 4 and 2 year old ("I hungy gamma...")
Nine of us drove down Hwy 49 on another beautiful winter Wednesday to Hidden Falls Regional Park for what has become our annual hike in this relatively new park. I did a little research and discovered that the park was formerly the Didion Ranch and comprises 221 acres with a total of seven miles of established trails. An adjacent ranch, the Spears Ranch (961 acres), was acquired more recently and will be incorporated into the park in the future. It will be nice to eventually have more trails to hike in this beautiful area.
We did our usual loop covering about 5 miles, with lunch at the confluence of Coon and Deadman Creeks. Instead of lunching on the platform, we walked down to the creek level on what I think is a newly constructed stone staircase and trail.
A new hiker, Tom, joined us today and we hope we will see more of him on forthcoming hikes.
There was no discussion about next week's destination, but if Clarence is able to join us, perhaps we will do one of his Spenceville loops. There was also some talk of doing the Cool hike one of these weeks before the warmer weather sets in.
