It has been over two months since our last hike, and I have to admit that I was wondering how out of shape we might be. Each time we had planned to go on a hike was always the one time that week that the weather would not be cooperating with us! We had begun to think that we were never going to be able to get out onto the trails again—or, at least not before our muslces completely atrophied and we were unable to hike even a mile. Fortunately, everything lined up perfectly on Saturday, April 14th. The weather was a cool and sunny 70-degrees. There was not a rain cloud in sight. And, we discovered that were weren't in as bad of shape physically as we were a year ago when we first began hiking (see Hawk Mountain Hike).
