Cindy and Karen joined us today for an 8 1/2 mile walk around Jenkinson Lake which is located in Sly Park. This is a good place to go when your time is limited and you don't want to drive very far. An early start is a must because it can get very hot in the stretches where there is no shade. Cindy is now a full fledged member of the "Best Day Ever" gang, complete with voting rights.
The big controversy of the day was is this a nature walk or a hike? I came home and looked up the definition of both to see if I could find the answer to our question. Nature walk is defined as a walk on a nature trail, while the definition of hike is to take a long, vigorous walk; tramp or march, esp. through the country, woods, etc.
I don't think anyone worked up a sweat, but what some consider a walk may be considered a vigorous walk to someone else. The bottom line is as long as you are out walking and enjoying nature instead of laying on the couch, it doesn't really matter what you call it
We weren't the only ones enjoying the beautiful lake.
A word of advice, when nature calls while you are in the woods, it is always a good idea to make sure there are no bees in your pants before you pull them up.
If you don't heed that advice, you really can't blame those with you for laughing.
and laughing.............
That's not very nice.
It doesn't matter if you call this a nature walk or a hike, as long a you call it a "Best Day Ever"
It's taken me a while to read this, but better late than never. Is that beer on your "hike"? If so, I would definitely call it a nature walk...I think that should be the definition.
