Western States Trail

Never know what you'll find on a trail.

Finally!! A warm (well, there was frost but we ignored it), sunny day. It brought 17 of us out of our holes and into the sunlight. Having not seen each other, it took a while to get everyone's attention and organize into cars. But we managed to get it together and headed down to the horsehoe tree parking lot on Highway 49 just short of the confluence. The trail was quite muddy in places but was otherwise perfect as it was in the sun a lot of the time. We walked the 3 plus miles to the park with the picnic tables but decided instead to eat lunch on the metal bleachers. We were entertained by the skateboarders and trick bikesters, who sported not one helmet and the usual low pants. I'm sure they really liked having an audience of older people in their hats and sunglasses.

Next week we are hoping to go to the Spenceville tombstones...weather permitting and our fogometer (Barbara) concur - Karen will join us..
