Three Mile Walk

We just got back from our three mile walk. This time our walk was more like a hike. We walked the road around Ovenell's pasture down to the Skagit river. Then we walked through the brush above the riverbank. When we were close enough to a beaten path we descended the bank down to the sand along the river. We saw plenty of raccoon tracks and what appeared to be dog tracks. We even saw what we thought were wild turkey tracks this time. Then we made our way along the riverbank until we found the path leading back up to Cedar Grove where we live.

That was quite the hike! We were both feeling it in our legs this time. Needless to say we were both sweating too! We were gone an hour and a half. Ron says that's a pretty good three mile hike. We were both slouched into the deck chairs sipping on big glasses of juice when we got home.

It's a beautiful evening out there tonight. When the sun set on the top of Sauk Mountain it turned the rock towers a reddish color. We are so lucky to be able to enjoy the beauty of these mountains around us.

These truly are the Golden Years.
