| Carver Park Hike by Patty Fitzgerald On October 28th, 6 ULLRs met at the Carver Park Reserve in Victoria for a hike. It was cold and cloudy, but we found the wooded terrain to be out of the wind and very scenic. We managed to hike 4 miles, around Crosby Lake and over several wetland areas on the moving bridges made from heavy duty plastic. We stopped to see a huge growth on one of the trees and to try our luck at tying knots. Patty tried to tie Barb K up but the rope was too short. Nancy S was successful at recreating one of the knots on the board. We found a Chickadee overlook where there were several benches with fake wooden people sitting on them and dressed in hats and scarves. We decided it was done so that the birds wouldn't be scared away when people came near. We checked out the owl and hawk that are in cages in the park because they are blind due to accidents. Then we checked out the Lowry Nature Center which has many interesting stuffed specimens and some live critters too. After the hike we went to lunch at The School of the Wise, a new restaurant in Victoria, which everyone said was a great choice. |
