THE HIKE:
I hiked here in November 2018.  When the family joined me in St. Louis for a week we did our annual Easter Day hike here.  The grandkids loved it!  It was the first hike for 3-year-old Teddy and amazingly he did the entire 3.2 miles without asking to be carried.

Back at the house, the Easter egg hunt was on!
