2018 Hiking

[north woods gal]

Not much for hiking in store for me, this summer, but just wanted to add one more alert on the tick problem. They're been bad in our area, this spring, and I'm picking up a few even on my bike rides, for heaven's sake. I now spray down my feet and legs before doing any trail riding. It's also a must even when waking in the yard. Be careful.

Glad you're getting back out there, Catrin, though hiking in the sun on a 90-degree day sounds rough!

Since I'm still in braces probably through the summer, which means being in Florida, I won't be getting much hiking in for awhile...perhaps in the fall. We are heading up to visit my folks in NC this coming week, but I'll be too busy with them to get much if anything else done. Will be working in my 83-year old mother's yard, which is undoubtedly crazy full of weeds, since they've had so much rain. Not looking forward to it all that much...much prefer to visit in April or even May, before it's quite so hot, but it just didn't work out this year.
