Late post for Wed. Hoping against hope that it wouldn't rain on Thursday, I prepared my hiking gear.
Thursday's post: It was very cloudy today when I was ready to leave the house for our weekly hike. But Jane and Bev were determined to hike even if it rained, so off I went to meet up with them and get going. When I met Jane at her house she told me that we were headed to the the Northville/Lake Placid trail. We were going to walk from Northville to Piseco: 6.5 miles each way.
So off we went, with the promise of ice-cream when we reached Piseco. The rain held off until we were about 1 mile from Piseco. By the time we reached the store, we were soaking wet, but at that point there was nothing else to do but enjoy the ice-cream and head back
After our rest break we suited up and got ready to head back, but we implored the store employee to come outside and take our picture first.
When we finished the trail we drove over to the Sport Island Pub for dinner. I'd never been there and was pleasantly surprised at how nice the food is.
When we were done and getting into the car to drive home, I spotted this license plate and just had to get a shot of it.
So---today's hike: 13 miles, about 7 of which were in the rain.

Good for you> I hope your feet stayed dry. I hate a log walk with squishy sneakers.. You we smiling after 7.5 miles though
The lake looks mystical(no pun intended)..The fungus is picture perfect..How long is our field trip walk?
Gosh, I am so in awe of you ladies!!! Great shot of you three...your pink poncho is beautiful. I absolutely love the lake image...definitely a keeper, and one I would love hanging on my wall!!!
