Hike: Mountain Creek, Saturday, 6/8/2013, 09:30-11:30CDT
Distance: 4 miles Rating: 4/5
Difficulty: Easy
Conditions: Mostly cloudy. Light breeze. Hot/humid. Trails mostly dry. Creek level low. No other hikers on trail today.
Thoughts/Observations:
Gray squirrels, cardinals, thrashers, crows, and lizards kept me company today. Oh... there were GNATS too! Tons and tons of the little, bothersome creatures. Guess I should have taken DEET or some other repellant.... It is amazing how much worry such a small creature can bring.
I did enjoy my hike -- in spite of the flying pests. Even though summers in Alabama are hot and humid, I still enjoy getting out on the trails and drinking in the beauty of GOD's Creation. I am blessed!
Tried out the Gerber Brush axe on the sticker-vines on the Hickory Hill Trail. It worked quite well at clearing out even the tough "saw briars". Altogether a useful tool to have around the homestead.
