John Muir, the famous naturalist and hiker, didn’t worry about the difference between walking and hiking when he said,“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out until sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.”

Location: Dodge Park #5, Commerce, MI, It's interesting to note that the Dodge family donated money for many parks in the area therefore the #5 to indicate which one this was.

Hiked with: myself

Route/trail: meandered on most of the park's trails

Weather: 57 degrees and partly cloudy

Duration: 3.02 mi in 55 minutes

Altitudes/elevations/conditions: flat terrain through the woods, many fallen leaves made it tricky to see the lumps and bumps on the path so I probably didn't walk as fast as I should

Sightings: a black squirrel

Gear/food: water

Emotions, etc: part of the trail is near a shooting range which was being used today. I had to work hard not to let the sound of gun shots ruin my time outside
