Tioga Falls and Fort Duffield , 4th of July : Seven people (1 new) hiked this steamy holiday. After the 2-mi. hike at the falls, they drove to the fort and hiked up to it to find historical demonstrations and exhibits underway.
Lincoln State Park and Lincoln Boyhood Nat'l Mon., 11 July: Seven people (lucky number?) went first to the Lincoln Boyhood National Monument's 1-mi. loop trail and pioneer village. Then they drove to the adjacent state park, where six hiked about 4 mi. on three trails (the lame duck went swimming). All ate at the Overlook in Leavenworth.
Knobstone Trail , 18 July: Ten people hiked on the KT out and back north from the Elk Creek Lake trailhead . It was hot, but at least no one found ticks. Six hikers, plus a non-hiker, ate at Neil's Place in Sellersburg.
Otter Creek Park, 25 July: Despite temperatures near 100 °F, 16 people went on this hike. We did about four miles on the yellow trail and a bit of the red, but it seemed like more. Most ate at Mike Linnig's back in Jefferson County.
Iroquois Park, Friday 30 July: While 13 people came to the potluck picnic, only 5 ended up walking.
