We had 2 Shirleys, 2 Richard S.'s, and 3 Davids on today's hike! Unusual!

We took a comfortably moderate pace on this hike and no complaints! We got in almost 4.5 miles in a little less than 2 hours and enjoyed friendly conversation throughout the entire hike.

We welcomed Barry P. into the AOC. It was his 4th AOC event and his first time at Sope Creek. He's intelligent and a great conversationalist. He's going to make a great addition to our AOC family!

The air stayed chilly for a while this morning, but as always happens, a few hills take care of the cold. Russ was sorry he didn't have shorts on by the end of the hike!

An interesting find along the way was a Valentine Tree - - a place to write a love note to someone you find special. Pens were event provided as were disks on which to write a message!

Lee, thanks for taking those extra pictures for the album. They always add a special touch. ~ Joyce
