Six (Harolena, Marilyn, Sally, Connie, Judy, and I) showed up on Monday for our first non-Tuesday hike. (If Tuesday comes tomorrow, Wayne will lead you through Penitente Canyon). We walked on the interesting new Bear Creek Trail on private property, as guests of Kay Jones. The trail follows Bear Creek for 1.5 miles, with about 10 very nice crossings. A little ice on the creek and a charming little waterfall added some zip. The new benches gave a little rest at well- placed lookouts. Since we were near or in horse pastures (no horses) on a warm day, we also found some arachnid friends, six of which accompanied me home; Marilyn contributed another to our front shrubbery.
This group decided that they would prefer Thursday to Monday for future hikes; that way some could also hike with the Tuesday group with time to clean and polish their boots between hike days. So, this group (and you) will hike again on Thursday, May 1. Meet at the South Fork Community Center before 9 a.m. and help us enjoy other nice niches near our fair city.
