We went on a 7 mile hike with out backpacks on. Mine was about 30 lbs. It was good exercise, but the best part was the water habitat area we found on our journey. Lilly pads, frogs, turtles, and some kind of otter that's been busy building a dam. It was beautiful. I'm so glad we went off the beaten path. The trail was completly flooded over because of the little dam building critter, so we got to go on a little walk about and follow the train tracks back to the car.
Over 2 hours of hiking. Forgot my usual hiking socks & got a blister. Lesson learned for next time! |
