On our way

We decided to visit family on our way to our RS program.  So today we drove to Cleveland for a visit with David's aunt.  We wanted some exercise so, despite very warm temperatures, we went for about a two mile walk in North Chagrin Reservation. This is one of the parks that form the "Emerald Necklace" around Cleveland.  We both grew up in this area and I remember many Girl Scout and family outings to this park.  It is fun returning to a place where you hiked and played over fifty years ago!  The Hickory Fox Loop Trail followed a path through the woods below towering hardwoods and along the edge of a very deep, wooded ravine.  It is amazing that such beautiful trails exist so close to the suburbs and busy roads of this city.
      It still looks like we might have a very wet week for our program.  Hopefuuly the rain and storms will not keep us from our hikes on the AT.  We are really excited about this program.
