A semi-bust today. My plan was to go up Zig Zag Trail but when I got to the start of the trail (after the .1 mile ultra-steep connector) my knee was sore. Since I want to keep up my pattern of three hikes a week, I headed east on the flat PTC trail to Mine Creek Bridge and turned around.
When I got back to Zig Zag my knee was feeling better but I didn’t have time by then to go up to the top. I went up about .25 mile, to the Hall Creek Trail junction and turned around. Live to fight another day and all that.
I had a date to pick up my grandson Camden (almost 6) and bring him back for a stay over. When I got there the plans changed, and not for a good reason. On the way to work this morning Jill got into an accident and her car is totaled. No one was hurt, which is good news, but I am predicting a huge problem going forward. I am pretty sure the person is going to sue and being without a car is going to be an issue. We will do what we can to help.
In the meantime, both Camden and his sister Finley (now 12) are over:
So at least we have that going for us. But what a miserable turn of events – totaling the car.
