Veterans Park 3.5.13

Today we had 12 hikers.  This was very surprising since it was a damp dreary day with heavy rain forecasted.  Collegedale really did themselves proud with this park.  It is not large, but it is beautifully maintained.  There is some military equipment on display as well as some statues.  There is a huge American Flag on display with all of the state flags surrounding it.  We started out with our rain gear just in case, and sure enough, before long the rain came.  Luckily for us it was light and did not last long.  The hike was entirely on a cement path winding through the woods.  Everyone relaxed as the group wandered along.  After the hike, we went to the City Cafe for lunch and as always had a good time there as well.  The distance of the hike was 4.1 miles and I would rate it as easy.
