It was a little warm for this hike, in the high 80's. Not too warm to be enjoyable, but everyone was glad they had their water bottles! It was otherwise a beautiful day with few clouds. We wandered around in the beautiful woods and everyone had a good chat. We had maps, but there were far more turnoffs than shown on the map and it didn't take long to realize that we didn't know exactly where we were. Never the less we trudged on and soon found our way to a recognized trail. Once on the correct trail, we stopped at a small falls and had lunch. There were nine hikers on the 4.3 mile hike which I would rate as easy. Following the hike we went for a brief stop at Desoto Falls, which strangely is not part of Desoto State Park. You can recognize these photos by the dam in the background. Following the hike we began our drive home which was an unfortunate adventure. Remember the song Chicken Truck? We weren't following a chicken truck but a very long slow trip home was the fault of a chicken truck. That adventure will have to wait until another time for discussion.
