I participated in a group exercise program that included visiting the lake and various stretching, strength, and cardio exercises. We heard flickers, chickadees, crows, robins, red-breasted nuthatches, and golden-crowned kinglets and saw some interesting mushrooms someone said were "honey mushrooms" and not good for eating. We were very fortunate NOT to get rained on between 10-12. Great temperature for outdoor exercise.
There were lots of groups with small children, and two beagles baying excitedly over finding the scent of something. I love seeing a park used so much during the middle of the week. We walked down one of the wider paths to the lake that had been completely cleared of leaves and back up the same path. And, as an unexpected bonus, I was able to purchase my November 2024-2025 Discovery Pass right there on the grounds! I'm set for hiking for another year!
