What looked to be a frigid morning event turned out to be a delightful hike requiring no more than a long-sleeved shirt! A few cold-blooded folks kept on their jackets for a while, but that warm-up hill removed any doubt that we could still sweat at 45 degrees. There was absolutely no breeze, which made a world of difference to our comfort.

As we ascended the warm-up hill, John (last week's first place finisher) was heavily engaged in conversation and was in the middle of the pack. A subtle verbal nudge from me was all it took for him to change his focus and speed past everyone to finish first! What a strong hiker he is!

We took some different routes through the park today, but got back to the parking lot right on time. A great hike! ~ Joyce
