This morning after my meeting, Bill and I left for a long walk. We decided to start at one of our usual spots off of Lincoln and head west. When we arrived at the Evansville State Hospital, we walked a loop around the lakes. There were a lot of puddles and ducks and some frolicking […]
This morning Bill and I left for our walk in Ferdinand later than usual. It meant that I ate my lunch in the car and not on the trail. That allowed us to focus just on hiking and might have paid off in a great outcome. It was quite chilly when we started but the […]
Because Bill was off today, we had time to take a stroll down by the river this morning. The temperature was brisk but the sunshine made the walk so enjoyable. We decided to stay close to home and chose the river path. There have been extended flood warnings in place lately due to lots of […]
