Saturday Afternoon Hike

Last Saturday it was sixty eight degrees.  In November.  On a Saturday.  Amazing.  The kidlets elected to hike at Hartley.  In the Spooky Forest there were at least 30 college aged students dangling from pine trees in their camping hammocks, reading.  I thought that was absolutely fabulous.  Mr. SP and I lamented that we didn’t have the foresight to think of spending a Saturday afternoon dangling from the giant pines at Hartley reading good books.  Gracious.  There weren’t even any mosquitos.  We hiked a small loop past the spooky forest and then came back up to Rock Knob, and of course climbed a few trees near the nature center, because you can’t go to Hartley without climbing a tree.
