With both of us having many hikes to our credit, I finally met Phyllis, who was my co-lead for two hikes today at Yellow River Park. Great to get to know you, Phyllis!

 We were on the trails for almost 3 hours and covered more than 7 miles.  We encountered a biker in the middle of the woods who was evidently dehydrated and experiencing light-headedness.  He accepted our offer of help and was given sports beans (by Elizabeth), a bottle of water (by Harry), and a food bar (by Joyce).  We waited with him for a while, allowing him to rest, drink, and regain some stability.  Then, he walked with us for a couple of miles back to the road, where he was able to ride his bike back to the bicycle entrance.  We were happy to have been able to help someone in distress - - and he was very wise to accept our help.

We all enjoyed the beautiful weather and the scenic trails.
