Nine happy-go-lucky hikers set out on this 5.37 mile hike.  I say happy-go-lucky as there was chatter and laughter the whole hike.  This hike lasted just about 3 hours with one stop for a snack.  When we reached my intended destination, it was decided that we should go a little further so I added 1/2 mile to the hike.  The weather cooperated fully on this hike which was mostly under the the canopy created by the trees.  This shade made it much more comfortable for a beautiful hike.  Nothing spectacular, just a green lush forest.  Following this hike we had dinner at the Purple Daisy in St. Elmo.  A good time was had by all.

Tough hiker joke.  One hiker to another, "I didn't know you had six toes" Second hiker "Not a toe, it a blister".
