| ULLRS ENJOY LAST FALL HIKE OF THE SEASON Did you know your legs have 13 muscles? Seven ULLRs felt each of those muscles working hard when they followed hike leader Nancy S up and down hills for about 3 miles at Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve in Savage on Monday, November 15. The hike flyer included a warning about hills and included a recommendation for hikers to bring hiking sticks, so our ULLR hikers couldn’t claim they weren’t informed. It was a cool cloudy fall day, and the hike progressed with rest stops part-way up and at the top of the hills. The Burnsville and Savage areas received a dusting of snow a few days prior to the hike. The remaining snow provided a nice bright white contrast against dark tree trunks and branches, fallen leaves, and green buckthorn leaves. Even though the outside temperature was barely above freezing, everyone agreed it was actually a nice day to be outside with our ULLR friends. Hiker Bill B told the group about another meadow section of the Park with additional hiking trails. Maybe we will do that area next year. After the hike four ULLRs enjoyed lunch seated at a table near a big fireplace at the Porter Creek Hardwood Grill in Burnsville. The warmth of the fire felt nice and cozy. This was the last scheduled fall ULLR hike. Where will we hike next year? You can determine that by suggesting places and volunteering to lead a hike. Plan now to do that! |
