Friends got together today and hiked the Croom Loop "C". It was interesting because I haven't been on this particular section of Croom. I have done the "A" loop twice. Troop 61 will hike the entire circumference of these trails in two weeks. There were a little up and down nothing compared to the AT. It was mostly pines and oak, mostly shady. A nice place to hike.
Today, Jake M. did very well. He complained that this was his last hike, but he does like it, he just wants it to be easier. Thanks to Walter W. for being a sport and mentoring Jake all day. It was very nice to hike again with Mr. W. as he is not able to hike with us this year. He will be missed. Also joining us today, was Mr. N., Xavier N., Kyle M., Mrs. M., and Mr. M 2.0. Jake and Mrs. M. were told were doing 6 3/4 miles (a little more than we did at Little Manatee River) but we actually did 8.1 miles. Mrs. M. said she could do no more than 7. We will see you next month Mrs.M. (we will not let you give up to easily!!). Stats are 8.1 miles in 4 hours, plus 1/2 hour lunch. We averaged better than 2 mph. Blackhawk out.
