52 in the Year of 52 --- #hike5

So happy to get outside on a crisp sunny day after a wild night of fun! 

With our fearless hiking club leader leading the charge we set out on a new hike at the Meyer Preserve found on the hiking project app! 

Lots of leaves on the ground! Be careful. No need for a snack, this hike was a couple of hours. We took a few wrong turns...but nothing dramatic. We only saw 3 other hikers in the two hours we were out there. Sunny day, hat...no gloves.

So...have you ever been out late night and mention you need to go home because you are hiking in the morning? Shocked by people's reactions? Some people say, wtf? You are crazy! Others say, wow great, I want to hike, count me in (these are the midnight hikers)...but then you never see them again! And then there are the other few show up with a smile...(these are the AM crew members) ❤️💪🏻❤️

Hike 5: 

5 miles

559' ascent/descent 

Poles needed

Well marked

A bit slippery this time of year

Beautiful views

Good looking AM crew ... The midnight hikers not pictured here! ;) 

Forgot my hat...had to improvise with my buff! 

Only incriminating myself from the midnight before! 

Happy hiking mama! Always.
