This week's team hike was at China Camp state park which has by far been the easiest hike we've done so far. Almost entirely flat - the trail we used turned out to be the perfect trail for mountain bikers, as well. A huge bike expo was taking place in the area we had planned to do our trekking pole clinic and our "flat pace check" (which explains why we chose a - DUH - flat trail!). Hundreds of bicyclists passed us along the hike and with the constant stop-and-start feel we didn't get much momentum going.
However, despite being an easy hike with constant bikers on our tails - it was a fun, beautiful, and sight filled adventure! During our hike we saw a baby deer, a flock of wild turkeys (who we startled quite a bit when we yelled "Go Team!" mid hike), a mama turkey with her
newly hatched turkey babies, and a snake. And I'm not mentioning all of the birds, butterflies, insects, and wild flowers (blue dick!) we saw.
