A little leery of doing this all road hike after all the snow, then rain, that just dumped on us, but we hoped todays adventure was mostly back roads, which it largely was…at least we had a WHITE Xmas this year! Robin is taking a sabbatical because she is busy with things, so it is back to the three of us for a while…will miss her spirited songs. Sunny day, which of course means it was cold, but I’ll take sun over warmth any day. Interesting wander through farmlands, and surprisingly along sections of Rocky River- which has eaten into the rock beds to expose beautiful geometric patterns along riversides and many step down rapids on the river bottom. Would be fun to walk in the hot summer months, so just unlucky timing on our part. Hike ended at Lake Media trailhead, which was next to a fantastic, over-the-top Xmas decoration display on a neighboring yard- ALWAYS lifts my spirits!
