Monday - Reservoir Hill Hike

Monday morning we were greeted by another beautiful day and set off for our hike - one that only 3/6ths of us had ever attempted before. This one had many different trails amid the trees - so two of our photographers took pictures of the trail map in case we split up (on purpose or not) while hiking.
On the reservoir hill trail we spotted colorful flowers, long-eared squirrels and some deer eating in the distance, as we tried to find our way from one trail marker to the next. Our goal was a scenic over-look. Some of us took a rugged red-trail to the top and some took an "easy" green (not-always) trail, but we all made it. The geo-cacher's found their box and the one other of us just stood on the edge and went "ahhh".
We again took separate trails to the bottom and enjoyed the different things we found on this hike.
The rest of the day was spent relaxing and enjoying the warm sun - temps have been mid 70's in the lower elevations in the sun - higher elevations are a little cooler.
