We have had a string of lovely weather days recently with temperatures in the 60's along with no rain. Ward and I were able to take advantage of one of those days by taking off early and going for hike at a state park not too far away. You may remember we did the same thing a couple of weeks ago. This time we were on another part of the same mountain we visited before but in a different park. There were a few people around but we didn't see anyone on the trail we chose. That may be because much of it was steep and rocky. That meant when we found an old logging road, we were very happy.
Once again, it was a refreshing outing. Nature has a way of doing that. Below are a few pictures from our afternoon along with some quotes about nature.
