Saturday's hike



I wanted to get my hike in before the rains started Sunday, so I got up at 5AM on Saturday for my hike. Just as I headed out, it started to sprinkle. I had promised to bring horses in if it was raining, so I was delayed a bit, and finally got out on the trail around 5:45.

It just drizzled a little throughout the trip, but the weather was otherwise fantastic. I headed out for the powerlines and started hiking up and down hills, and forded across several creeks.



Round trip was about 7 miles in three hours. The powerlines are an extremely fortunate benefit where I live. Very nicely groomed fields with undulating hills are just perfect for hiking--and virtually no one is ever out there!
