Turkey Run

Yesterday, we celebrated our anniversary by heading over to Turkey Run State Park and hiking. We'd heard good things about it, but neither of us had been, at least not since Andy turned 11. It turns out that Turkey Run is a damn cool state park. There are 11 hiking trails. We ended up doing all or part of 6 of them (1, 2, 3, 5, 9, & 10), hiking over 6 miles. Unfortunately, due to our lameness, we did not bring the camera. Fortunately, google has a handy image search!

Trail 3 winds through a creek bed, and at one point, the only way down (or up since it's a loop) is a series of ladders. Since we brought our 90 pound dog with us, we diverted over to Trail 5 at this point. There's a lot of variety among the 15 or so miles of trails with trails along the river, one that goes straight through the creek bed, a few that head through forests, one that takes you to a covered bridge. Plus, there's a suspension bridge to get to most of the hikes! Also, if you're not into hiking (!!), there's also horseback riding, canoing, and lazing down the river in an inner tube.

Also, a note about our anniversary. We ate the top layer of our cake last week, and it was really frickin' tasty even a year later. Sweet & Savory rocks!!

Awesome! I think more people should save and eat the top of their cake... fun!

Also, glad you had a fun time at Turkey Run.

Nice one on the cake! We elected to just order a smaller replica for our one-year.

Ah Turkey Run trail 3! I've probably hiked that trail more than anything else in my entire life. Good times; I can certainly see how it would be challenging for the Brown Menace, however.

Whoa! Those ladders look kind of freaky, actually. I didn't realize Turkey Run could be so pretty.

Glad to hear the cake was still good. That's fairly uncommon so you two scored! =)
