Hike With Lydia and Marilyn!
Funny story on these last 2 pictures!! These were taken toward the end of our hike. We had sat down on the trail for a quick rest and a snack. I was sitting on a log looking down the trail that is pictured in these photos. Down the trail a bit, off to the right, I saw some brush move and then I saw what looked like a bear cub coming out of the brush. After encountering 4 bear sightings on our hike, we were all a little on high alert for bears! As I stood up, adrenaline pumping, and alerting our little group of hikers to this danger near us, we noticed that as the "bear cub" left the woods and scampered across the trail . . .it ended up being just a squirrel running across a log that was downed and giving the appearance of the furry creature being taller/bigger as it rustled the brush than it actually was! Ha! The other part of this story is the little stuffed squirrel pictured in these photos was brought along in Lydia's backpack as a hiking companion....found on one of their last back-packing trips. Now it goes with them on all their hikes and of course, needs to be photographed with them on every hike. So we took their little hiking buddy out for this particular photo shoot! LOL!
