Reason 9: Hiking Trails are just next door

5pm on a pleasant late spring Sunday, I was doing my jigsaw puzzle in the backyard, the kids came and wanted to go for a walk.......

"How about the trail on the other side of I-90 freeway?"  I suggested, I had always wanted to explore that trail.

Packed the water bottles, changed to hiking boots, Triple checked the mobile phones, we jumped into the car.....

Literally 7 mins later, we were at the trailhead.  And we completed the trail before it got dark.

All 3 kids and I enjoyed this particular trail immensely.

It's "Adventure Trail", if you're interested in.  It's not busy, so we get to feel like we are in the proper woods, full of invisible fairies.  Because it's away from I-90 freeway, it's quiet, peaceful...............
