At least twenty six hikers braved a fierce wind and dropping temperatures to make the loop around Alma Lake. Not everyone signed up and getting the group together for a picture proved challenging, thus the estimated total. We did get together for a partial group picture at the intersection leading to the waterfall, later dubbed the water drizzle. Those who had not seen it before enjoyed the short hike off the main trail.

Nineteen TrailBlazers under Peggy’s lead took the scenic drive on highway 22 to head to Mt. Magazine in search of fall color. As we drove Highway 309 toward the park we saw beautiful color galore along the road. Skies were a little gray but all of a sudden the sky was brighter and the sun came out! Lots of times it is like a foggy cloud in the park. We thought we were lucking out this time, but by the time we reached the Visitors Center it was gray and windy! Later the winds died down and we felt warm hiking because of the humidity.

Nineteen TrailBlazers under the command of Buffalo Bob headed up the Pig Trail Scenic Highway (Highway23) to Hike Hare Mountain. There were lots of beautiful green fields along the way because this area must have had more rain than some of us! Eventually we got on the rocky gravel road toward our destination. There were lots of people camped in clearings along the road obviously there to start off the hunting season. Only a few of us were wearing orange but we are so noisy that no self-respecting hunters or deer would want anything to do with us!

Twenty-Five TrailBlazers headed out for Mt. Nebo on scenic Highway 22 but we did not yet see fall foliage. We did manage to find a shortcut that cut off some mileage but alas we never did see First Free Will Baptist Church mentioned in our instructions! However, some of us did see it on the way back because we missed the shortcut back!
