Friday Hike

Friday afternoon, the weather was simply irresistable; Linda called and wanted to go for a hike, in the woods if possible. We decided to see what Saylorville Park had to offer. I'd heard they had buffalo on display somewhere so, even if the timber was lacking, the buffalo might save the day. We arrived at the park and picked up a map of trails. The best prospect was a trail that happened to start back by the buffalo; handy eh?

The map was a little vague and the actual trailhead was not the easiest thing to find but, with a little exploring, we found our way down to the lake. The Lakeshore Trail is a nicely designed and maintained trail winding through timber, past the buffalo, and over the hills along the lake. I'm guessing that the fluctuating water level makes it hard to maintain much more signage on the trails so I'll cut them some slack on labelling.
