PILGRIMS' PROGRESS (a hike on the Turkey Trot Trail, post-Thanksgiving)

Whew! Work off those drumsticks and pumpkin pie! Several were up to the challenge and joined us on an easy Sunday walk before settling in to watch the ritual football games. It was a pleasant afternoon, welcome after days of cold, wind and rain. Our trek started At the trailhead on Constitution Blvd., where we herded our dog and kids, and headed into the wilderness known as the Turkey Trot Trail.

Furry companions are anxious to move out.

Some furry companions get the royal treatment from interested third parties.

It was a great day for using the trails, as we encountered bikers and other pet walkers.

Pack leader Terrance, with sidekick Biscuit, tries to impress hikers with tales of Sasquatch and others of his friends.

Peter and entourage were latecomers, but caught up with us.

Another of our monthly treks completed. Stay tuned for information of future hikes, as well as volunteer opportunities for our lots-o-fun work parties.
