New Year's Hike

 Apparently hiking for New Year's Day was popular this year. We had 25 people and two dogs show up to walk north from Timber Creek. Several hikers were new.

There was just a dusting of snow, and flakes gently falling as we hiked. This is that portion of the Lake Co. RR bed that we follow just south of 8th St. Nice trail pic.

This big burl (maybe 2 feet across) almost always attracts attention.

Almost everyone walked to 8th St and back.

It's the beginning of a new year, and so it's also the beginning of a new Hike 100 Challenge. This is year 10!

After I got home, I puttered at some of my other projects and worked on my current jigsaw puzzle.

That was a nice turnout. A good way to start off the year.

Lulu: "We went for a little New Year's Day hike too! It was to a place called The Bordern P Loop in San Marcos!"
Java Bean: "There weren't any trees or snow, but there was a lot of rocks and dirt, and some coyote scat that Dada wouldn't let us investigate ..."

Lulu and Java- ya gotta hike in what you got. Rocks and dirt are good too.
