We had a group of 12, brave the elements for our blue-ribbon hike, follow the blue ribbons, for a 6ish miler. We had dry skies, but very muddy trails for an up and down around and around oak savanna hike with varying degrees of distance by the group. Peacocks are the reward of finishing in the parking lot.

We had a “lucky 13” on our trek around Mildred Kanipe on this cold, cold Saturday after Thanksgiving. Sun was promised but didn’t deliver until after our hiking was through. I’m sure we must have shed our extra calories in doing this round about, and up and down 6-7 miles in the fresh but cold morning air. Did I say it was cold? Actually, the up and down kept us warm as we explored 3 different loops in the park.
The nice thing about hiking close by is we were back by 1 o’clock and the afternoon was our own. A big shout out to Diane Rannow for helping map out and mark this round-about trail.
