A Very Chilly Hike

Yesterday, we got up and out early to meet the Tennessee Trails group at Beaman Park.  It surely would have been a great day to stay inside by the fireplace.  With temperatures hovering around the freezing mark all morning, needless to say, our walk was brisk.

Nancy led the hike with six grateful followers.  About half of the group we had not met before.  It is always fun to get to know fellow hikers.  We were all bundled up and kept up a pretty fast pace.  That kept us warm enough.  The few times we stopped we didn’t linger.  The wind cooled us off in a hurry.

Here are a couple photos.  You can tell it was a dreary day.  Even the cold day and cloudy sky didn’t dampen our spirits.  It was good to be enjoying God’s creation with friends.  We are blessed.
