Latest Hike
Our latest hike took us to Cherokee Mountain Loop where we found more trash and pollution than expected. We nearly filled 2 – 50 gallon contractor bags before turning around. In just over half of a mile the bags were nearly too heavy to carry back. This trail needs lots of love and we will be returning.
In May we are heading the Blue Hole in Stoney Creek to do some much needed clean up.
