I went mountain biking. DH was at a conference so I took it nice and easy all day then made my way to the trail about 5:00. It was really empty which made me timid. Normally the trail is busy and I know that if I wreck alone someone would eventually show up. But I felt very isolated so I played it safe. It was shockingly mild feeling, supposedly 100 degrees but I felt cooler. That was a nice surprise.
I did see the norm for the trail, a family with very young kids that have gotten lost too far back (in this case a little over 1 mile). These people never have any water and I almost always find them in the same area where they have passed at least two large maps but are totally clueless how many trails there are at this park. I gave them directions to look for the green signs and follow the "P" on the sign to the parking lot out and hoped they had water at the park. The kids couldn't have been but maybe 4 and 6 if that old. They also had a puppy with them. I really should carry extra bottles of water for these goofballs.
