Well, the perks to working in a state that gives days off for a horse race, woohoo! It was a beautiful day to go get lost in nature. As it turns out my date from the past weekend found herself with an extra day off too, so date #2 would be a hike. =)
I took us out for breakfast at waffle house, lots of carbs for a long hike, or so I hoped. Went to Versailles State park, some nice scenic trails there. Started out nice, lots of color in the flowers, weather was warm with a cool breeze so the bugs were not an issue. The trail I picked we have to cross a creek 3 times before it starts going up.
Sadly though on the trek up we hit a snag. I spotted a snake on the trail and she freaked! I easily removed, without hurting, the snake using a downed limb. But unfortunately instead of enjoying nature and the company, I had to keep my eyes open for anymore snakes that may be on our new trail. "No way am I going back the way we just came! There might be a hibernaculum where saw that snake!" I do enjoy the company of an educated woman, it allows for more substantial conversation but in this case...... LOL!
Of course, it was the first true warm day we've had in the area, the rest start out cold then get warm. Friday was just a perfect day for hiking. But with the warmth we got to see more snakes, lol, she was very happy to cut our hike short, luckily I've hiked here enough to know the short cuts.
Posting a pic or 2, to my friends the rest will be posted on FB. Enjoy!
