Horsetail Lake/Swallow Cliff Hike
December 3
This was an interesting hike, to say the least. Probably The most amazing thing is that ten people actually showed up. The weather was very questionable. It was definitely a damp, cool, clammy day. There were periods of misty rain and drippy rain However, once we got going, we were fine. The trails were very muddy in spots and there were times we had to find ways around flooded pathways. In spite of all that, spirits were high and we had a great time. We always do! Noone actually kept track of the mileage. but we were out there hiking for about 2 hours. This hike includes the old toboggan slide and we generally stop there to rest and enjoy the view. We always start from the bottom and make our way to the top. No casualties yet! Afterward, we had a nice lunch in Orland Park.
We forgot to get a photo this time. These were our hikers: Bernie, Scott, Tom, Jim T., Jeff, Alison, Andi, Susan, Kathy and JoDell.
