Tue, Jan 19 2021 - Early Afternoon Dayhike Combo at Frazier-Rowe Park & Briarlake Forest (View Original Event Details) Trip Leader(s): Charlie Cottingham Participants: Charlie Cottingham, Joseph, Marina, Linda, Davida

Had a good time together on this memorable "double-header" hike.  It was fun having Linda with us on her very first AOC event and a bit of a "luxury" to have just five in our group, which made it easy to get to know one anoher better.  After exploring Frazier-Rowe Park and its adjoining Coralwood Nature Preserve we caravaned in our cars to nearby Briarlake Forest where its huge old-growth beeches and oaks were a special treat.  Had no problem "social-distancing" and paused occasionally to discuss the native flora & fauna and also various invasive non-native vines and shrubs.  The sunny mid-50s weather spurred our decision to spend an extra half hour at Briarlake Forest.  Submitted by Charlie
