TRAIL CRAWL
March 25, 2012
In which the neighbors on either side of Stinking Creek put aside a day to connect with each other. Four walking destinations, all offering copious food and drink, beginning on the north side of the creek in Abeyance and ending on the south side at the farm.
FIRST STOP
Our host, Cherry served up barbequed chicken and bloody Mary’s for the amassing group of trail crawlers
HAPPY FAMILY
Michelle, Aaron and Remi start off towards the second stop. It looks as if Scott is sprouting out of the canvas carrier hanging off Aaron’s back.
SECOND STOP
After a short walk, we were welcomed by the sight of Candice’s home.
A GAGGLE
Candice’s three dogs tune into her voice as we chatted in the kitchen. Outside on the porch the crowd began to multiply.
RELAXATION WITH A CAPITAL R
Everyone was enjoying themselves!
SHEEP
Some of us were mesmerized by Candice’s sheep.
HERD MATES
Rachel, Scott and Linus and Camille all hail from the south side of the creek. McCayne took a nice picture of the animal lover with the sheep herd.
COLD WATER CROSSING
Spring rain had made the creek run high so M B took off her shoes to wade across and found the water to be cold.
THIRD AND FOURTH STOPS – THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE CREEK
Third stop – Tami and Lyle’s place where Kathie and Tami get a chance to get caught up. Janice and Jim work on some beer and Susan licks the frosting off her fingers from a cupcake.
Fourth stop – Trouts Farm. Tami’s dog Monkey was brave enough to expose himself to so many strangers but kept a firm grip on his security blanket.
PLAYING AROUND
Kathie shares a moment with Spot. Jesse and his friend made up a game to play with our spinning clothes dryer.
WELCOME!
Spot happily welcomed Stephanie, Cheryl Ann, Laura, Jim and their lovely children.
ANIMAL LOVERS
Sam, Sheldon and MB obviously have a way with animals, giving Spot a triple dose of TLC.
CROKINOLE
No party at our house is complete without a little practice for Tavistock. Olivia got an introduction to the game while Bob, Lyle and Scott continued honing their skills for the World Crokinole Championships.
