Dirty Feet




Yesterday we went to a State park not far from here and hiked about 3 miles in a loop. It was sad, yet amusing, how many people didn't do that loop. The trail was cleared of pine needles at the beginning and at the end but in the middle it was a lush soft carpet of mostly undisturbed needles. We saw white tail deer and lots of little squirrels. It was peaceful and enjoyable. My soul has been needing time away from people and I didn't know it until I got there and felt myself relax. Not sure how you are...like that some people cannot seem to get too much of a crowd. And as much as I love people my soul and spirit still need the quiet of the forest.

Why dirty feet....well Charles hiked in his Teva's and I hiked in my Chaco flip flops. :)
