Saturday in the Park



Finally made it out to Cook's Creek and it had to be on the weekend when they hold their annual pilgrimage.  It didn't start until later in the afternoon so we were okay that way, but it did mean the church itself was closed so no photos of the interior.
Guess that means we have a good excuse to go back again!




We mostly had the grounds to ourselves and that gave us the ability to wander all around checking out different angles and taking multiple shots.  Couldn't complain about the brilliant blue sky and there was just enough of a breeze to keep it feeling rather nice out today.



Found some horses in a pasture and must have stood by their fence for about fifteen minutes waiting for them to come closer, and not stand with their back ends to us. Hahaha!




Checked out the new pedestrian/bike bridge over the highway.  It is rather interesting looking even though the walk was a little further than expected.  But the trail was nicely paved and only had to jump out of the way of cyclists a few times.



Berries!



On the way back we stopped at the abandoned homestead in the Park.  Its very cool, although I couldn't help wishing the Parks Service would maintain it as more of a living museum and plant a garden etc to really simulate what it must have looked like back in the day.
