Last Sunday, 22 people came out to hike the trail section along Kopp Lake. It was the largest turnout we have had in some months. The perfect fall weather was a big draw.

Some of the trail gave us full view of the lake.

The sections in the woods are filled with light now that the leaves are falling.

Thanks to Johanna for scouting and leading the hike, to trail maintenance for their outstanding work on maintaining this trail, and to the landowners for their continuing permission. You can find more photos on Flickr.

On a Sunday morning, eight people drove through the densest fog in recent memory to attend a hike along Pipestone Creek. The weather was cool and damp at the start.

Eventually the fog cleared to give us blue skies and a perfect day for walking on the trail.

The morning dew called our attention to the spider webs engulfing small trees.

Does anyone know what this fungus is? We found it only on bushes that were next to the creek.

Thanks to Lee for scouting the hike and to Trail Maintenance for clearing the trail. Thanks also to the landowners for their continued permission to enjoy these trails. You can see all the pictures on Flickr.
