I dream of hiking into my old age. I want to be able even then to pack my load and take off slowly but steadily along the trail.

Way back in the beginning of May, M and I took a trip out to New Jersey and Pennsylvania. While we were in Pennsylvania, we spent a morning hiking in Lancaster County. One of the areas where we hiked was Shenk’s Ferry Wildflower Preserve. The main wildflower trail is approximately one mile long, and an easy hike. One could probably hike it fairly quickly if one didn’t want to stop, look at, and photograph all the flowers.
