Our hike today stayed in the low 20's, but the sun came out and warmed us up nicely, and the hefty winds kept high in the trees. After the warmup hill, we had no problems with the cold.

Deema and Linda starting running as they approached the warmup hill, so it was no surprise that they tied for first place at the top! Today's group was very strong, so that I ended up pretty much last to the top.

Looking at the photos from today, I love that each picture shows different people talking to each other! So many friendships are made on these hikes . . . it's a very satisfying thing to see.

The trails were in great shape today, though it was clear to see that some areas had been recently under water.

This was one of the strongest groups I've had on the Thursday morning hike. They stayed in a tight bunch throughout the entire hike! ~ Joyce
