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.”

Saturday, January 31, 2015


Location: Dauner Martin Nature Association Trails, Fenton, MI

Hiked with: Gary-don't let the pic deceive you, he did put his phone away!

Route/trail: Yellow and part of the blue...the trails were well marked and we should go back to explore during other seasons

Weather: 34 degrees and sunny but we could see the impending snow storm rolling in from the distance

Duration: 1.96 miles, 40 minutes

Altitudes/elevations/conditions: mostly flat but totally snow covered yet easy to navigate because of the cross country skiers that had packed the path

Sightings: deer and a few blades of green grass


Emotions, etc: Looking forward to spring when these walks can be longer yet the woods were so beautiful today and it was great to have Gary's company. Glad we took the time because tomorrow we'll probably be shoveling the snow from that storm that is headed our way!
