I talked Keith into hiking my trail today before we settle in for food, football, the Olympics, and knitting (me). He prefers the wider paved trails so he doesn’t have to duck under branches or watch for roots and rocks in the path but I LOVE hiking by the creek and lake!
What a beautiful spot to hike! We’ve got a conservation area nearby that looks very much like your area, but it’s not exactly a good spot right now with snow and icy trails. Maybe in April? In the meantime, I’ll get out walking soon again – running errands, going for bloodwork, etc.
I found a week’s worth of your blog in my spam basket again. Plus others. Finally I got one immediately the day you wrote it, yahoo. I’m not much of a walker, but I do enjoy trails. Especially if I can climb some. Your trail looks quite nice.
With that view, I don’t blame you on preferring that trail, May. It’s gorgeous!!
I would think your walk would be a better workout, and such beautiful views!!!
I understand walking the trails that are maintained for casual walking but the more scenic harder to maintain are my favorite. I am much shorter than Keith which can be an advantage if there aren’t a lot of elevation changes, large roots or just areas requiring big steps. Ducking and weaving are generally more likely here. No matter what I hope you enjoy your walks together.
Oh, to be in a short-sleeved shirt . . . how fabulous. The creek walk sounds fab to me. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
I’ll go along with you! I’d prefer to hike the paths by the lake, but actually I don’t really enjoy uphill hiking very much. Nice flat land with good scenery is the perfect hike for me!
