Gorgeous spring hike

I'm fortunate enough to live in an area with beautiful natures all around. I started my morning with a hike in the state park woods (which is empty Mondays through Thursdays, so it's not only pretty but serene) and opted to take a mountain bike trail, just for the heck of it. It was just right: challenging, hilly, a good workout, but not too long.

As I walked back to my car, I decided to take a map with me and mark what I'd walked. And then it occurred to me I could try to fill up that whole map by, say, the end of June.

Some of the trails might take me 4-5 hours to walk...something to work up to!

I didn't see any exciting wildlife today, but there were a few flowers blooming I'd never seen before, and probably 5 different kinds of butterflies. (Hm, I wish I had a butterfly field guide...)
