Itinerary:

This should be a nice chill hike for a warm afternoon. 

We will follow Mulberry Creek through a shaded forest and cross the Creek numerous times. 

If the creek happens to be high, we might even get our feet wet -- which we may want to do anyway to enjoy a cold water treatment for our feet and ankles.

The Creek hike is an "in and out" through the Hyde Farm County Park.  

After the creek, we will make our way through the Hyde Farm which dates to the 1830s and on into the Hyde Farm CRNRA on new marked trails to take a look at the river and the Morgan Falls dam before turning around to return to our cars.

For those who did longer AOC hikes on Saturday, this hike may be a nice way to stretch those legs and unwind.
