A nice mix of folks today, vets, newbies, and friends not seen for a while!

The small threat of rain never materialized, but it was certainly humid and muggy, with evidence on the trails of last night's rain. Lots of mud to work around.

Sadly, we passed a dead fawn on the trail. No indication of why it died. It was very young . . . and very sweet looking as it lay there. A sight to cry over. In contrast to the deer, we saw a box turtle digging a hole to lay her eggs. The cycle of life right there on the trail today.

Our newbies today included Leigh, Linda B., Barbara D., and Claudia R. Jay was on his 12th hike today, so he's now a vet!

Thanks to Lee for all the great pictures he added to the album. - Joyce
