On Saturday, February 21, the Light Boot Hikers got together with Girls on the Go Hiking Group. It was a bit cloudy and cool, but no rain. We all started on a great trail, in the beginning. We spotted a bald Eagle. I love those birds, they are so beautiful!
Then found the Little Mashal Water Falls trail and up we went. Unfortunately, it was really muddy! We were slipping and sliding. I even fell on my bottom and got pretty muddy. We all eventually got up to the Water Fall and it was amazing! Part of the group decided to go behind the waterfall and got a bit wet. There was quite a bit of water coming down as there had been lots of rain recently. We stopped and had lunch on the upper falls. Everyone was having a great time. Rather than come back the way we came up, as there was so much mud, we decided to go through Pack Forest and meet up with the Bud Blancher Trail. That was about a 7 mile hike. The sun came out and we all had an amazing day with great people!
