Sutherland Trail

Today was another fun hike with the Saddlebrooke hiking group.  Every hike we meet new people - not many repeats, yet.  This was a 5 1/2 miler, but it was really easy and seemed much shorter.  A common expression among the "old people" here happens when they lose their train of thought.  "I'm just having a Saddlebrooke moment" is what I've heard several times now.  We are not at that point.

The reward with this hike was sitting on a large expanse of rock and enjoying the rushing (!) waters in the stream.  I so wanted to put my feet in the icy water but I ended up settling with just getting my hands wet.  The water was so cold that I couldn't keep my hands in for long.
