Went on about a 3-4 mile hike today with my friend Ann-Marie. She just quit smoking a few months ago and is trying to get in shape to go backpacking in the mountains later in the early fall. First test will be Table Rock next weekend!! The Riverwalk is always beautiful and a great place for hikers, joggers, strollers, dog walkers, and kayakers on the river. Summer is here with 90 degree weather plus high humidity. It was pretty sticky for the first part of the walk but a light wind picked up in the 2nd half and made it a lot more pleasant. The main foliage consisted of Sycamores, Hackberries, Box Elder, various Hickories, Smilax and plenty of Poison Ivy. The river was up and everything was lush and green. I heard on NPR that South Carolina is finally out of it's 3 year drought. Ann-Marie treated me to coffee and a drink at Starbucks and I treated her to a cookie.
Great way to spend a Sunday morning in the Cathedral of Nature.
