Yesterdays’ weather was Sooo nice on the hike led by Vicki Mosberger Ferguson & Gillum Ferguson, that some of the 24 hikers started gettin’ nake…shedding outer layers of clothing, 5 minutes into the hike.(NO, nothing to see folks, moving on…) We did “something Old & New”..(was anyone wearing anything blue or borrowed??).started at the Rim Rock parking lot and went the traditional ‘top’ route, down the stairs, to Ox Lot cave (really just a Massive shelter bluff), crossed the creek and up a bank, crossed a rock barrens, then wound our way around Pounds Hollow lake seeing a Natural Arch just above the dam/spillway..ate lunch at the beach area, then took the Beaver Trail back to the lower Rim Rock area. On the way back..we met over a dozen people out for a hike themselves..I think we had at Least 4 New hikers, including an 8 yr. old who was unfazed by anything. .The only ‘bad’ thing of the day..several filled 4 small bags with trash..but, those bags were later retrieved to be disposed of properly..which is a Good thing. Only YOU..can prevent trash in the Shawnee National Forest.
