Trail Mix: And we're back downtown...

After all the fun of yesterday's walk, we returned downtown today. We walked the route that we have usually been walking when it is raining (or snowing). As much as we love our lakeside trail, I fall on dry land. I try to avoid wet hiking trails whenever possible. We had a nice time, which was made possible due to Mother Nature, who again decided to let us stay (mostly) dry. Click here to read the Trail Mix blog.
