The weather finally let up! After a nasty winter with freezing cold temps and tons of snow we finally had a Saturday that was perfect so my man and I decided it was time to get outside! We went out to Weldon Springs and did the Lewis trail, here is a helpful link:
Trail Map
It was around 8 miles and ended us right at our car, a perfect loop. Difficulty was low to moderate, we did have our boots ready for mud because of the weather, but didn't experience that much. We saw a lot of trail runners as well as dog walkers so everyone was out! There was a shorter route, Clark, which curved around at around 5 miles, but we did the Lewis. We started around 11:30 and finished at 3:45. We did pack a lunch because you had views like this below which made the perfect lunch spot. This is great trail and I will be doing this again!

Gear:
My EB pack is 4 years old I use it mainly for school outings with my students, I think it is time to upgrade, but for a small hike like this it was perfect. Held my two water bottles, layers and extra shoes perfectly
I got these bad boys May 2013, I love 'em! I do wish I would of gotten a half size bigger for bigger socks but they do great. I got them from REI and they helped me out a ton with the 18 I tried on.
