Walnut Creek Park - January 30, 2016

submitted by Kelly O’Rourke

     Due to the snow we decided to play it safe and stay out of the mountains. Walnut Creek is a beautiful local Charlottesville park and voted Charlottesville’s Best Park many years in a row. Most of us wore our Yaktracs (or equivalent) and used poles over the 7.2 snowy miles. We saw a group from Old Dominion Hiking group over to enjoy the day as well. We hiked the first 5 miles, then sat in the parking lot in the sun and out of the wind to enjoy lunch (and chocolate!) , then hiked the last 2+ for a total of ~ 7.2 miles.  Hikers: Dan Ralston, Jeanne Densmore (who found $41.00 on the trail!!!), Charles Staples, Claire Cline, Susanna Williams and James McAdams. We all had a blast!!!
