In my last blog post I mentioned a pre-turkey feast hike. This time I shall describe the day’s pre-ham hike. I really should have sucked it up and gone for a bike ride today, but alas I did not. Does it count that I thought about it? No, it doesn’t. An alternative to bike riding, as always, is hiking. Michelle, Shauna, and I did just that at Francis King Park this afternoon.
Having been to Francis King recently and with my somewhat low threshold for doing the same thing all the time, I led us around some of the same trails we did about a week and a half ago on a Wednesday night, but in reverse. For additional freshness, we roamed slightly outside of the Francis King boundaries into Thetis Lake park. I’m still building a map in my brain of the trails in these two parks so it was a good exercise to explore the some of both. Next time will involve going a bit deeper into Thetis Lake Park. Francis King trails included: part of Elsie King, Shooting Star, Grand Fir, Centennial, and High Ridge.
