What a gorgeous Easter morning! Some people celebrated in church; we chose the woods where we see all of God's creations with every step we took.  

The trails were muddy after our heavy rains last night - - and poison ivy is growing everywhere - - but the woods were beautiful and the exercise refeshing on this chilly morning. The pace was on the fast side of moderate, so we clocked in around 6 miles despite the rest stops and pause at the ruins.

We ran into Oscar's group of hikers as they were coming up from the ruins. They were captured in a few photos.

We welcomed some brand new members to the AOC (Freda and John), some relatively new members (Lixia, Wu, Brian), and some returns from the past (Shana, and Sara). ~ Joyce
