National Trails Day - Lakeside Hike @ Swayback TOLA

Hike: Lakeside Trail, Swayback TOLA, Sat., 6/4/2016, 08:00-11:00CDT
Distance: 6.8 miles  Difficulty: Easy.  Family and dog friendly.  Rating: 4/5
Conditions: Sprinkling rain.  Light breeze.  Low to upper 70s.  Trails in good shape.  Only encountered two other people during the hike.
Thoughts/Observations:
Greatly enjoyed this  hike -- there is something special about hiking in the rain!  Wonderful time of worship and meditation.  I was continually serenaded by the staccato cadence of the raindrops on the forest canopy and floor along with the avain, frog, and insect choirs.  Passarines, crows, and woodpeckers were quite busy today.  No grackles in this forest!  (There were plenty last week in Texas.) 

Mimosa trees were in full bloom and perfume.  Brings back so many childhood memories.
