After stuffing himself with his 'daily' peanuts, one of Anna's pet squirrels which Anna has named "Lazy Bones," decided to stretch out belly flat on the cool cement patio.
Our temperatures in Ca. this week has been beautiful, mid 50s at night, low to mid 80s in the day.

Nice. Reminds me a little of Frontier Homestead State Park in Cedar City, Utah. (Of course, my pictures disappeared after most other files were moved to a new SD card!) Beaver Creek State Park would be a good stop-off on the way back if I take a trip to Bradford.

Well, John, you've inspired me. Lord knows getting out regularly for a walk would certainly be good for me, and might even take the blood pressure below hypertension level. Becky and I went down to Palmyra Cove and covered a little less than a mile, but it's a start.
Take care and God bless,

Thanks Floyd.
The trail there is obviously wide enough for them to get maintenance vehicles down, but there are quite a few more trails that are more single file foot paths. They do a great job of keeping all the trails groomed.

Great pictures Steve! My wife & I also enjoy going for walks. They vary in length between 1/2 mile & maybe 6 or 7 miles. I could walk further than that but that's about as far as I can get her to go.
I'll tell you a trick if nobody is listening. We do this once in a while. We pick out a longer hikeing route. Then we take our cars and place one of them at the end point & drive back to the starting point. You get the idea. Anyways, you can cover more new ground if you know you don't have to walk back.

We have only done that a few times Tom.. That is a GREAT idea though.. Just being out there is GREAT.. Every time I encounter some knucklehead on the road I repeat to myself that this is the reason I LOVE the woods... Hike on!!!

Brenda and I decided to do our usual weekend coffee hike 4 miler around Old Town Alexandria today. Lots of birds on the Potomac River and the first turtle I've seen this Spring. Kind of surprised there we're a good number of people out and about at 10:00 this morning, but it is a gorgeous day to do so.

Awesome! Those are some great pics.
The big boys and I got out and rode some gravel trails on the Mt bikes. I should have too pics too. But I was too worried about staying alive. lol.
