Cumulative Distance—80 miles
We had hoped for a longer hike, but AJ decided to nap the afternoon away after protesting naps all morning. Our hope was to get him into his carseat right after lunch, and he could nap in the car and on the trail. Great plan, except he fell asleep in his high chair while eating. He definitely needed a good nap, so we postponed our hike until nearly 4 p.m.
It was a gorgeous afternoon, and we had two sections of real trail! We put AJ into the backpack carrier, which he loves.
The fall colors were absolutely beautiful, and we enjoyed the IAT signage in Tisch Mills.
Part of the trail through Weber(?) Woods has a creek that passes through. It probably is a good thing it was fall and the water was low. We didn't listen to the sign!
Walking through the woods gave us a first hand view of the color changes happening!
Once we got back on the road, we ran into a bunch of dead snakes. There was 3 or 4 of them that we came across in the few miles we walked on the road. Although they looked alive, they were far from it!
As we came up to the car, we had three sandhill cranes take off - which gave us a nice silhouette against the beautifully setting sun!
Hopefully we'll get a few more hikes in yet this fall and then some over the winter as well. We've made better progress this year, but we have a long way to go!
