State Federation Park

August 1, 2008

Well, I had a big hike planned for this last weekend. A big hike for me is classified as one that takes an hour or more to get to. I needed to go preview a campground for a barbeque our worship team is having next weekend and figured while I was out that way I would pick a trail. So I found one in State Federation Park that was supposed to be 4 miles and full of stuff to see. I got there and first of all discovered that the batteries were dead in my camera. That's right, no pictures! But I headed off down the trail and got about a mile down to where the trail splits off in different directions when it started raining. It wasn't too bad because the old growth forest was keeping most of the direct moisture off of me, but I wasn't sure which trail was the one I was supposed to take, and didn't feel like being lost in the rain, so I turned around and went back. The best laid plans of mice and hikergir1's. . . Oh well, I guess now I'll just have to go back and take my camera next time.

BTW, my camera battery is now charged and I plan to take it with me to next weeks barbeque, so expect some fun pictures then!

In the meantime, is anyone else out there watching "The Mole"? My dad and I have been discussing it all season and last night was the last episode before they reveal the mole. I would love to hear anyone's guesses on who the mole is!
