Since the weather was so nice today we decided to go for a short hike. Also, I am feeling much better and thought I could handle some light exercise. We embarked on a short little one mile hike and it was cute and easy so we drove to another park area and decided to go on what we thought was another easy little one mile loop trail. The sign said “1 mile loop” but what it really should have said is “10 mile (or more) loop of mud and general grossness through boring woods near a lake.” So, we hiked on that trail for over two hours through mud and other grossness. Our shoes were soaked and nasty and so were our legs and clothes. Finally, we realized that the trail was not one mile nor were we even heading back to where we started. So, Brian investigated another trail and it ended up going to a road. We followed the road (and saw old people so we knew they must have parked close to where they were) for about a mile and we finally found the park entrance and the car. We got in the car and I vowed to find the park ranger and teach them about properly calculating mileage on trails and also about properly marking trails, not to mention what a trash clean-up day is… Brian did find this neat little green Indian figure on the trail. It looks sort of like a neon green GI Joe. I am interested to see if it glows in the dark…
