April 21, 2014
Today was cloudy and rainy. We had planned to go to the St
Louis zoo (and probably could no more than it rained) but it was so cloudy when
it wasn't raining the pictures wouldn't have been very good. We decided stay in the park, do some hiking
on the trails and get some of the mundane things done that have to be done when
you carry your home with you. You know,
things like laundry, and vacuuming, etc., plus repacking the basement compartment we had to empty to repair the fill tube yesterday. We also worked on planning out the next few days of travel. The intermittent showers allowed us to take a
really nice morning hike on one of the bike trails. We sure are glad we were hiking it because
some of those hills would have been killers for us on a bike.
Our usual view of trails
We seem to be following spring
northward. The flowers here are about
2-3 weeks behind those at home. The
daffodils are blooming along with the red buds.
The dogwoods are just opening with none of the brilliant white of full
bloom. There are some nice wild flowers
blooming.
Of course now we get to
experience all the pollen again too. We
did some more hiking and geocaching here in the park this afternoon. We like this park and would come back again
because there a lots of trails we haven't hiked and it is so convenient to St.
Louis.
Our site at Babler SP (and Anne blogging after supper)
We do plan to go to the zoo
tomorrow morning when it is supposed to be sunny and then head on west tomorrow
afternoon.
