THE HIKE:
Presidents' Day hike with the grandkids! Note that granddaughter Ellie chose her own hiking outfit for the day. |
Red-tailed Hawk |
What is that sound? |
Not liking that train at all. |
Very early skunk cabbage. |
Ellie was given the honors of nabbing balloon #11 of the year. |
We had just commented on what a nice path this was behind Manny's Pond when ... |
... about half way along it became very rooted and hard to push the strollers on. |
Finally the end a a bridge back to the paved path. |
But we realized Ellie's coat was missing having flown off of the stroller during the bumpy root section. |
Found it! |
Uphill towards the Baptist Church Road parking lot where there are ... |
... views! That is Spruce Run in the distance. |
Bugs were out and about and a tick was crawling on the baby, the only one who had not been on the ground! |
View of Spruce Run from higher up. |
Taking a break on the bench at Manny's Pond. |
Back at the parking lot. |
