This intrepid group of outdoor enthusiasts braved the warm temperatures and blood-sucking insects to take a leisurely 3.7 mile loop hike at High Point's Monument Trail on Saturday. Cheap as we are, we parked at the Ranger Station outside the park and we all crammed into Dave's little car to pay our $5.00 entance fee. Driving past the lake, and up toward the monument, we parked and sought out our trail. Did it start behind the monument - or at the end of the parking lot, hmmm? We saw lots of ripe berries, scouted out some magnificent vistas, and met Stella's final resting place and marker. My personal favorite was the swamp trail, with it's boardwalk and flowering trees and shrubs. Pictured here are Peggy (Dolan) Cordell, Dave Larson, Andrea (Margaret Herman) Harmon, Phil Herman, and Michele (Edison) Leonard.
Peggy, you are so cool. I have been following your blog. I think you took horse back riding lessons where my husband did. Did you know a guy named Vic there at the stables? Not sure the years you went there but it is a small world.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have an astrology chart for you I did, I think it was in our senior year.
And of course, you all are way cool for the hike you took. I would have done it too. Or an after midnight "hike" to Sun Rise Mountain to sing the sun up!
