German Ridge, Saturday, Sep. 5: Four hikers

This part (if not all) of the trail has been widened into a
one-lane road, mostly covered with fresh gravel.
Hardy Lake, Sep. 6: 11 people (several new) hiked the almost 5 miles of trails on this typically hot day. Most ate at Wick’s Pizza in Louisville.
John James Audubon State Park, Sep. 13: Only 5 people (none new) went on this early-starting hike. We eked out about 5 miles of hiking, using each trail but the pet trail at least once. After visiting the gift shop and museum, we ate at Gene’s Restaurant in Henderson.
Harrison-Crawford State Forest, Sep. 20:
Seventeen people (4 new) hiked this hot and very humid day. A
brief rain was not enough to cool us down. We did maybe 5.5 miles
round trip on the Adventure Hiking Trail, starting where it
crosses IN 462. Most ate at the Overlook in Leavenworth. 
Starve Hollow, Sep. 27: 14 hikers (4 new)
hiked a total of almost 6 mi. on 3 trails (on a hot day),
