Meramec State Park

Sunday July 1st I made a trip to our nearby Meramec State Park. The chiggers and ticks were in full effect, but it was only about 80 degrees some the hiking was pleasant. Below you can see pictures from the two trails I tackled. One important lesson that was learned quickly is do not count on your GPS in these heavily wooded areas. It turned out to be a great opportunity to strengthen map reading skills though.
