Get-together
This was extremely pleasant — lots of great food —delightful way to wrap up a distant hike
Randy, who is the hiking group’s official chicken cook, grilled chicken skewers and shitake mushrooms; Nancy made a cake and a couple of dips.
Sun Sept 30
Monkey Run Natural Area, south side of Fall Creek in Varna
It was raining lightly but steadily before hike time — this possibly (probably) caused some people to stay home — the rain stopped shortly after we stepped off — fantastic atmospherics for the rest of the walk
Official head count: 13H, three D
