Swayback TOLA - May 6, 2017

Hike: Swayback (freestyle) - portions of Red and Black Trails; Sat. 5/6/2017, 10:12-12:30CDT
Distance: 5.3 miles    Rating: 4.8/5.0    Difficulty: Easy
Conditions: Met several hikers and bikers on trail.  Weather was perfect and people were taking advantage of the opportunity to get on the trail.  Gorgeous clear blue sky.  Light & variable wind.  Upper 60s to mid 70s.  Trails damp but in good shape.
Thoughts/Observations: 
Hikes to the chorus of Passerines.  Squirrels were busy about the forest floor as usual.  Dragonflies, Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterflies, & Damselflies were in abundance.  Lake Jordan was serene and inviting.  It would have been a good morning to take the kayak out for a paddle.  At least one kayak angler was fishing in the big lagoon as I hiked through the area.  One of these days the turtles will learn that I am not going to bother them -- they do not have to dive back in to the lake as I hike along the shoreline.
