Today's hike leader did an excellent job. We didn't get lost, not even once. This relatively easy hike of 4.7 miles lasted 2 1/2 hours. Most of the hike was in the shade with a few sunny areas that we tried our best to get out of as it was very warm and humid. According to my camera the temperature in the shade was just about 80F. We all met at the parking area at the visitors center and proceed to start the hike on Poe Run. The destination of this hike was Hidden Lake which is not much of a lake but it is full of frogs and fish. After a brief snack under a tree, we started back. This was an excellent hike and some fun was had with singing and echoes in one of the ammunition bunkers. Following the hike almost everyone went to the City Café and had a very nice lunch and more chit chat.

If you see me talking to myself, just move on by. I'm self employed and having a staff meeting.
