This mornings trail walk was eerie. It rained cats and dogs yesterday, so everything was damp, humid and very wet. It was hot already even though it was very early. There was steam coming up from the foliage and streams. High winds had knocked off lots of leaves and small branches onto the trail. The water was very high and large trunks of trees had washed down and created a little dam where we cross over on the stepping stones. (I wish Tierney was writing this post. She studied creative writing in college and has a way with words. She could make it sound much better than I am.) Linda decided to take a shortcut home. No one (not even the deer, unless they were very short deer) had been on the deer trail in a long time so she kept getting a face full of cobwebs every few yards. We didn't see one sign of wildlife, not even the murder of crows. (I just love writing "murder of crows". I will try to use it as often as possible just because it sounds so cool.) We left the iPhone home again, so no photos of our adventure... but this is what it looked like. We were almost expecting a Zombie from The Walking Dead or even Bigfoot to pop out and get us!
