Get-together

This was extremely pleasant  —  lots of great food  —delightful way to wrap up a distant hike

Randy, who is the hiking group’s official chicken cook, grilled chicken skewers and shitake mushrooms; Nancy made a cake and a couple of dips.

 

 

Sun Sept 30

Monkey Run Natural Area, south side of Fall Creek in Varna

It was raining lightly but steadily before hike time  —  this possibly (probably) caused some people to stay home  —  the rain stopped shortly after we stepped off  —  fantastic atmospherics for the rest of the walk

Official head count:  13H, three D
