What a Day to Hike!!

Fred Scott & David Cooper led 2 different groups, 2 different ways, with  about 19 total hikers, in the Garden of Gods wilderness. There were Literally Hundreds of vehicles in the various parking areas of the main Garden. with all areas filled to overflowing. We had, again, Several new hikers. Fred Scotts’ group  had as many new hikers as seasoned hikers. A little over 5 miles was traversed by each group, taking in rock formations such as “The Big H”, Noahs’ Ark and the “machine gun nest” spot. Many, many small groups, couples & families were seen, and conversed with, either just hiking, or camping. Horse & Mule riders were out in abundance also.  One Very good thing was, personally, I only picked up about 6-8 items of trash. Thanks to All  for coming, See you Soon out on the Trail. Tell ’em…about the River to River Trail Society. We Love..taking you and showing you these beautiful places in Your Southern Illinois!!
