I walked the bike path today. Went further north than usual and found a nature trail (marked and mapped) so I thought why not?

Well, it *was* a nature trail. But for bikes. The trail was narrow, muddy, and hadn't been used since the last set of storms came through.

At one point an entire tree was laying over the trail and I had to forge a new path. :-)

It was fun, but I was wearing the wrong foot gear. Worst of all, I picked up a tick. Fortunately, I found it before it latched on, but I've been feeling phantom bugs crawling on me ever since.

*laughs at your single tick after my last hike, after which I found ticks for a week -- I lost count* -- nm - Mara Jun 23, 14:59 11

- I brought one back from our last desert trip. I know we have them around here but I don't think I've ever seen one before. -- nm - Meg Jun 23, 15:02
- Must've gotten in your hair. Mine is pretty short, so not much trouble finding them. - TWuG Jun 23, 15:01
Weird year for ticks. There was a stray cat at our office and three days in a row there was tick on it. - Spawn Jun 23, 14:56 1
- The wet spring was good for nature and all her creepy-crawlies. -- nm - TWuG Jun 23, 14:59
