On the Beaten Path

On a pleasant Saturday, we conducted a two mile hike, utilizing several connected trails and passing through some of Shelton's natural attractions.

 We started at the Dog Park, where Terry outlined our trek while enjoying his ritual coffee

 Val and Terry lead the way

 We visited Eklund Garden, a chance to take a break and enjoy the results of the hard work Teresa and volunteers employed over several years to grow and display a wide variety of native flowers and other plants

 Some of the beauty of mid-summer at Eklund

At least the fur persons got to cool down in Hope Lake
