What A Lovely Day For A Hike - Let's Keep Going!
/
It was raining on the morning planned for this early October hike, but a bunch of us bundled up in our rain gear anyway, and hiked the North End Trails — and we were really glad we did!
The beautiful colors were enhanced by the mists, and our boots and hats and coats kept us warm, and added to the colors of the forest.
The annual potluck afterwards at Toria Erhart’s home was a lot of fun, too, and the food was great!

As these pictures show, the guided hike on Saturday, September 22nd on the newly groomed and marked north trails was a bit damp, but with waterproof boots (or not), was a lovely adventure. We spotted lots of fungi, and our guide Bonnie Matuseski had a wealth of interesting information to share about the fungi — and about other nature-related subjects as well! Very much worth a little mud!
