Another nice hike around this beautiful park.  I brought the tools necessary to remove some ivy and perhaps clear the trail of branches.  I bumped into a couple of very nice people and enjoyed some long conversations.  I made some progress on removing ivy and even got the chance to remove the branches of a fallen tree from the trail!  Unfortunately, I also found out that the twisting and turning of removing ivy, and cutting branches, was horrible for my back.  Oh, this is going to be a long and interesting recovery. 😦
