Clark, December 10, 2012

 Played hooky from school today.  Went in, left lesson plans and then stopped at the Clark Trail to hike on the way home. Perfect hiking weather--about 28 degrees. By mile 1 I was toasty in my fleece lined jeans and denim coat. Came across these deer just off the path at the beginning of the trail. They were not skittish at all, but actually walked closer to me to investigate. Haven't had that experience yet on a trail. . . .

 The second overlook.  The river is low, but not as low as maybe a week or so ago. I think it rained this weekend.
A little fort along the trail. I can't believe how many more people know about and frequent this trail compared to ten years ago. I saw two trail runners today, and at the end, a hiker with a dog in a sweater. There are always cars in the parking lot. A day like today, ten years ago? No one would have been out.
