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: trails behind Highland Public Library

Hiked with: myself

Route/trail: the initial trail surprisingly (actually disappointingly) led to a neighborhood. After walking the neighborhood I found more trails that seemed to be for ATV's. Last landmark was Downey Lake.

Weather: 48 degrees and partly cloudy

Duration: 2.94 miles in 50 minutes

Altitudes/elevations/conditions: little elevation changes with sandy trails that made walking slow at times but it was probably a better workout for my legs

Sightings: a woman putting up Christmas decorations (it's too early for that!) and a dog that walked with me for a little bit (this was delightful but made me miss my Abby the labby)

Gear/food: water


Emotions, etc: Thoroughly enjoying exploring this new area we live in!
