What no cell phone!

Each day we walked or hiked in the morning and then later in the day. Minutes piled up and the trails were easy on the feet. On our walks we ran into one couple on the trails. It was nice to stop and listen to the sounds of the forest. 

In the evening we sat out reading and watching twilight. Lady bugs were still out, bats flying around, small birds, two or three fires shared by the campers. While I enjoyed the quite, I thought it funny when two teens were trying to find a phone single to no avail. The shock of not being able to use their cell phones had to be difficult for them. 

Our morning walk was 93 minutes, adding up our two walks at White Pines and we already walked our 150 minutes for the week. Our trail had lots of hills which added intensity to the walk. We also did push-ups at the benches we past. The trails here weave through the pine forest and there was only one couple on the two trails we walked today. It rained last night so people did not take the trails. At one point we sat and listened to the quiet of the forest.

Psalms 50:10 “for every animal of the forest is Mine, the cattle on a thousand hills. 11   I know every bird of the mountains,   and the creatures of the field are Mine.”

We saw evidence of moles, a few squirrels, a small canary and heard various birds. Mostly we enjoyed the soft sand trail and the cool overcast day. I did not prevent me from sweating. Keep walking!
