Let’s Take A Hike — I Guess I’m Official

                                  Come on along on my hike with Angel.

They encourage us to take advantage of all that GSP (Garner State Park) has to offer, especially the hiking trails.  That’s what we did today.  We started out on the Wild Horse Creek Trail. It is the green one starting from the Shady Meadows Area where I am parked.  Part of it runs next to US 83 and then connects with the Old Entrance Road, where it ends at the Park road which takes me back to Shady Meadows.  I’m not too crazy about hiking alone, so I took the Park Radio. just in case.  I forgot my camera, but I took a lot of pictures with my phone. 

When we started out, it was a bit chilly, so Angel is sporting her new sweater.

                             So here goes, hope you enjoy the hike.

                   Not too bad to start, then loose rocks, it’s getting steep.

                             Still climbing, Oh, there’s the Highway.

   That’s still the highway over there.  I know the Old Entrance Road is here.

           Where is it? and It’s getting warm.  Let me have that sweater!

Hey, Angel, look at this caterpillar.  What are you growling at?  It’s only a lizard.

    Can you find it?    It’s hard to see, but really it is there and it moves fast.

               Now where is that Look Out Point?   I need to rest. and water.

                                               Yea, you too!

      Just to prove we were there.                   Hey, you can see home, way down there.

                  We are half way there.  The rest is all downhill.

       It’s steep!                             Big rocks!                       Pretty flowers!

                                        Butterflies everywhere!

                                        It sure is a long way!

         At the end of the trail, but we still have a way to go to get home.

    1. Me too! Although, I'm in a separate area, so chances are slim.

    Ya, your official! I hope you've kept a record of alllll your blog. It would make a good and interesting book. I wish I was able to walk like you, we could have a lot of fun.
    Chances may not be as slim as you think. When people want to speak to the Host they will find you!
    Love You Evelyn
