A Happy Camper

For the first time in two weeks I felt great!!  No headache, no neck ache, no back ache. or any other ache I have recently had.  I went out to do a couple of errands and realized I felt really good.  Nothing hurt so I kept going.  One store, then another until all of a sudden four hours had passed.

I went home and suggested we take a hike since I felt so good and didn't want to sit down.  I just wanted to keep moving.

We went to Webster Park and walked for a few miles and it was peaceful, beautiful, and pain free.

A Walk in the Park

I can't believe we've never done this before.  There are so many hiking trails in Webster and we always do the same walk around the neighborhood.  Saturday, when it was another hot day I suggested doing a walk in Whiting Road Nature Preserve.  It turned out to be a good choice because a good part of it was shaded.  There were a lot of different trails to take and we completed 2.8 miles of them.  When Laura comes we'll have to go again.

There's a bunch of real nice Boardwalks over creeks (currently dry) that various Eagle Scouts did.

The trails are well marked

A  set of benches and tables were recently added

Flowers, Butterflies and lots of potential blackberies

Webster Park

We took a hike in Webster Park today and hiked the trail that we normally use for Cross Country skiing.  We hope that some of the downed trees and limbs will be removed before we have some snow, otherwise we'll need a big base so that we can get over some of them, especially this first one.

 I love these shadow pictures.  Love looking so tall and skinny!

 Lots of boy scouts were out camping.
