Hiking!

My mom and her friend and my brothers have gotten into hiking the last couple of years.  They've done a couple of overnight hikes as well as several day hikes.  I didn't ever have the desire to join them until I started trying to lose weight and jogging outside.  Then it was just a matter of working it into my schedule.  I finally was able to join them on a three mile hike to Harper's Ferry.  They had been working on hiking all the way to Harper's Ferry (I can't remember their starting point) and just had three miles left.  So on a Saturday in June my mom, her friend, Ian and I hiked those three miles.  My dad dropped us off and then picked us up in Harper's Ferry.  It was fun, not too overwhelming for my first hike and a really pretty part of the trail.
We followed a canal (can't remember which one) for a good way
and saw turtles hanging out in the muck and on logs.

Our destination, Harper's Ferry!

Fun!! I love hiking! Especially if it's to a destination. I was wondering what that weird lime green stuff was the turtles were hanging out on. What is "muck" exactly? It looks disgusting!
