Welcome Jo, our guest hiker today! Nice and sunny to begin with. Snow was still on the ground as we began through Big Creek Park for the most part with a small adventure on side roads. There were some low wet areas in the park, but were mostly frozen over. Not much special to report except a random crumbling fireplace chimney in middle of woods towards the end of park hike. We decided to make our trail angel here! At very end of hike the BT was a long paved path at a gradual incline (more suitable as a bike path) right next to Ravenna Rd with traffic whizzing by that was so loud you couldn’t hold a conversation with a friend right next to you- geez! Was an uninspiring way to end our day, but a warm bowl of wonton soup in Chardon square helped lift our spirits.
