Spring Break 15 miler

Jonas and I got another hike in in our lives together.  Finally got to hike out my front door and head down the FLT a little ways.  Just a couple miles in I snapped this shot of Jonas's wet paw prints on a bridge.


 The man in the river.  Happy to be out on a mission.


 Some beautiful ground covering.  I spent $20 on plants just like this last year trying to get it to create a little shade garden.  None of it took.




 An old homestead that we came across.  Many of these were deserted in the 30s when electricity came to Ithaca and people moved into the city due to losing their farms and the convenience of city living.



 The Shindagin Hollow lean-to.  Pretty classy camping spot.  We just stopped for a few minutes for a peanut butter and honey sandwich and some left over Easter Eggs that Mom and Dad brought up.



End of the trail... for us at least.  15 or 16 miles in a little over 6 hours.  Not too shabby for a couple of out of shape hikers.  Sarah was nice enough to come and pick us up so we didn't have to hike all the way back.
