Nice day out there! Too bad we didn't cross paths.

Ugh - ticks already? Good to know! Spring is on its way... :)

Hi Karl, I was surprised we didn't see you. You probably passed us as we were napping in the sunshine. That kind of distance is just too much for me these days. Unless it's something special that I've been training for, I need to keep it under 10 miles. I'll join y'all sometime when my hip is more tolerant.

Elsie- what better harbinger of spring? Any day now, the lovely poison oak will be leafing out too.

We marveled, more than a few times, at just how many options there are out there! Especially if you find yourself following deer trails at times. I've done three fairly decent sized loops there, and the overlap between them is surprisingly little. I hear ya on the basking, too! :-)

PS - Good wishes on the hip! I know beating that kind of thing can be a real pain. :-/
