Razorback Ridge Hike

Friday: (08/09) Today was hike day. I met my hiking group at the Windy Hill Open Space Preserve and we hiked up the Eagle Trail to the Razorback Ridge Trail to the Lost Trail and then down the Hamm's Gulch Trail.

The hike was 10.1 miles and nobody complained. We hiked up to the top of the mountain on the Razorback Ridge Trail, a trail we haven't hiked, as a group before, and a hike I haven't done in over 20 years.

It is probably the best trail in the preserve. When i planned this hike it was to have a new hike that was mostly in the shade. It was.

We were also fortunate to hike up into the clouds which were causing the trees to drip and make the trail wet in many spots including causing quite a bit of slippery mud at many locations.

A nice change for a summer hike.

Ham, eggs and cheese Don McMuffin made with leftover bread sticks from the Olive Garden restaurant that Lou saved for me. Lou and Dawn had portobello mushrooms with egg and cheese and roast turkey. Lou and Dawn had salads for lunch, I stopped by Jack In The Box for a chicken sandwich for my lunch. Roast chicken with rice and broccoli for dinner.
