Some of them (not this park specifically) don't walk the trails but just man the counter. Sometimes if I go in and compliment them on a trail, they'll ask questions about trail conditions (like whether or not that tree has been removed from blocking the trail, etc.). There's usually a trail map available, but some are better than others. I'd rather just explore on my own. If we hadn't eventually found the bridge on a different trail I'd have asked.<br /><br />No, it took more than 3 but less than 4 hours.

It didn't even care you were walking nearby!<br /><br />I wanted to know, too, if there was anywhere you could ask about the swinging bridge? You'd think it would be on any maps they had...but no maps? Not even any info online as to its whereabouts--just its existence? Bummer.<br /><br />Looked like a peaceful walk that was quite pretty, though. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-61556965264187283102018-01-17T14:11:19.568-08:002018-01-17T14:11:19.568-08:00I've only seen armadillos in zoos as we don...I've only seen armadillos in zoos as we don't have them this far north. That was a cool video. And I like the beam man of the wood. Someone (or some people) have a sense of humor. And I think the fog gives your photos an interesting effect. It looks like a pretty place to visit. And I think a nice hike would feel really good seeing I've been cooped inside for what seems like weeks.

Maybe you didn't swing enough for it to show itself (bad PUN). So did it really take you 4-6 hours to hike that trail? It was certainly lovely, and very nice to see in the winter how enjoyable this outing presented itself.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.com
