First Day hike

I took my first "First Day Hike" at Turkey Run State Park this year. I had heard about it from their Facebook page about a week or two before. The link above is about the hike I went on. I am even in one or two of the pictures. Though it is hard to see me.

I hiked with the group for an hour or two then when it was over I hiked by myself for a few more hours. It was chilly at the beginning but it warmed up nicely later in the day. I did not stay as late as I would have liked too have because a snow storm was predicted to start in the afternoon or evening.

Lafayette did get about 3-4 inches of snow. Then a few days later we receive a lot more snow and an Arctic blast passed through. The wind chill dropped to -40 on Monday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Turkey Run State Park

I visited Turkey Run State Park last month. I spent about 7 hours hiking about the park. From about 12pm to 7pm.

I can not express how much I enjoyed my visit. The trees, canyons and other rock formations were were amazing. It felt like I was walking in a mystical place. I plan on going back soon and camping for the weekend.

I took over 400 pictures, most of which were not very good. I am still learning to use my camera. The low light conditions were a challenge for me. But I did get some good shots. Here are a few.

These are some photo's of the canyons.

Some water falls.

Some dead wood.
