Back from the hike. Missed a turn in the woods so it was 5.7 miles instead of the planned 6. The weather was perfect - 60ish and cloudy. We really are fortunate to have this steps from our house -
And while 5.7 miles may seem like bragging, I'm happy I can do it. When I first got here I was having knee issues and I was worried that now that I live near such great hiking, I wouldn't get to use it. Now, a little over a year later, it feels great. No real knee issues to speak of. I think just getting out there and walking really helped. So my words of encouragement are to get out there and live life.
