Went to Hard Labor Creek State Park on what looked like a rather ickily overcast day. Ended up being rather pleasant if warm. It's always a bit of a shock to enter 80+ degree weather after bundling up through winter.
I checked out the Little Free Library by the Visitors' Center and found a brand new copy of a Tad Williams book I didn't have! Happy for that bit of luck and will donate another book when I come across another Free Library.
I decided to film as much of the hike around the only two non- bike and horse trails they have at the park, both of which total 2 miles together in relatively easy loops. The place was fairly busy with people so I did what I could to avoid traffic, dropping the camera when I came across other hikers.
Feeling a bit bummed and peckish since I didn't exactly prep a lunch for myself, I came across an elderly couple who were resting beside the trail with their doggo. After heading down to try and take a decent photo of the flowering meadow nearby, the lady offered me a tangerine. Then her husband offered a square of something made from potatoes that was really tasty. Neither spoke much English at all. I bowed a lot. They seemed tickled.
I will see about cobbling together a video of the hike later.
Hooray for trail magic, and yay on the book! Which one? (I love Tad Williams.)
