Sept 20, 12th Hike - Edgewood Park

This was our last hike before setting off for the Smokies on the following Thursday!
It's the beginning of the "cool-down" period to give our bodies a little rest before the event hike, so it was only 2.5 to 3 hours.

Diana met me for this hike - I was very happy to see her. She arrived before I did, but I was able to quickly get my boots on and hustle across the road to meet for the mentor-led hike. I wish I had taken a picture with Diana because we were also celebrating the fact that we've known each other now for 16 years.
We met at Cardenal in FloMo at Stanford, sometime in the beginning of our freshman year (we got there on Sept 24, 1992!)

Edgewood Park was my first hike with the group, and it was fun to see how much easier it was now!
We kind of improvised with the trail map because we took a couple turns different from the route, but we just kept hiking until the end of the time period and it was fine.
