My nephew Austin spent the night last night and was hangin here today. So I thought it would be good day for a hike. We headed north to Mt Gilead, got there around noon so we had to find some eats before hiking. They did not have many places so we did Pizza Hut. Seem to take a long time for our order. But once it came it was good food, we ate, cleaned up and headed for the park.
The trail was lakeside trail, was to be about 2 miles. Was sprinkling a bit but we were not going to let that stop us. We came to a loop called Sam's Creek, I wanted to take it and Austin did not. I told him stay on the Lakeside path and then wait for me were my loop comes back to meet. Sam's creek was a nice added hike of .5 mile straight up a hill, really got my heart racing. Well when this loop came back around to the main path there was no Austin. Oh my, I had forgotten my phone in the car. Do I go back to the car? I called his name and wisheled for him, no response. If I go back to the car and leave him out here in the woods by himself. Wow I was starting to panic. Where was he!!! He is only 11 yrs. old what if he gets lost. Stupid thing to seperate. So I walk on in the direction we were headed and yelled every once in a while. All of a suden I heard the noise of a walking stick banging a tree. What a relief, he was waiting at the next loop. He did not see the first sign and did not remember the name, So we were glad to see each other and headed on around the lake. It got up to 70, nice day even though we had some rain.
