There were 18 hikers on this relatively easy 4 mile hike at Booker T. Washington State Park. It started off relatively cool but soon began warming up. At every opportunity, hikers were removing sweaters and jackets as we moved along. It was an absolutely beautiful day for a hike and the views across the water were beautiful. There was plenty of chatting as we moved along and the hike leader stopped at enough locations that everyone got to see the views. As you can see from the map, attached, the trail meandered along the water almost the whole way. Along the way we found a very cold American Bullfrog (see pictures). Since he was cold and sluggish he had no choice but to cooperate and allow us to examine him. Some hikers asked the difference between a frog and a toad. Frogs generally live near water and have smooth shiny skin whereas toads can live in dryer surrounding and have rough warty skin. Following the hike we went to Ankars for subs or salads.

This weeks joke...Some mornings it just doesn't seem worth it to gnaw through the leather straps!
I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in my body. Then I realized who was telling me this!

TTA Annual Meeting Hikes 10.20.19
I have included two hike descriptions in one post this time which this blog is not really set up for so bear with me. These hikes took place in conjunction with the annual TTA convention which had hikes this year in the Frozen Head area. The first hike is to Black Mountain Crest Loop. As you can see, it was a little foggy and only two participants. If you would like to see a few pictures of this hike you can click here. The second hike was the Honey Creek Loop. It was a strenuous hike, but exceptionally beautiful. If you would like to see a bunch of pictures from this hike, click here..
