New friends, a new place to hike and some good advice.

In September we were invited to go hiking at the Willow Creek Land Path. This invitation was a fun one to accept because it was from a couple that we both have been wanting to get to know.

If you are not familiar with WCLP check out their web site. There are a number of Land Paths that are supported by volunteers so you can both get involved and have access to magnificent places.

Minutes from the start of our adventure we were kindly greeted by this little creature. I like to call him Freddie.


We took several breaks to take in the beauty.

Aah...


This tree was huge.

I really mean HUGE!

Thomas and I have had many conversations about our friends or lack thereof. It is one thing to have friends as a singleton but another to be friends as a couple with another couple. We are childless and when we hit our thirties we slowly lost all our friends. They were off having children and we were not joining in the fun--I suppose. Through the years, we have met great couples but sadly one-by-one they have all moved out of our area. Long distance friendships take on a different dimension.
So were were ecstatic to get along with K&A and we look forward to many more adventures.

At the end of a great afternoon of hiking we were greeted by some good advice. I love how the Universe works.
