A cold sunny day walk of Cooper Mt. Nature Park and Jenkins Estate with Lori, Jeanette, and Sylvia.
Getting geared up to go
The Nature House had heated bathrooms
Today there was more of a view
Welcome to Cooper Mountain Nature Park
To cold for a picnic today
A well bundled up group
Heading down the trail

Jeanette telling stories of her trip
Testing out the hearing aid for seniors.
The White Oaks covered in Lichen
Looking up hill on the restored prairie
The gravel path twisting to our low point
Jeanette back from her long trip was having a good time
Open prairie land. Now all they need are some elk.
Path heading into the forest
The Oaks had a heavy covering of lichen
Last restored prairie patch then back to the car.
We did a short walk at the Jenkins Estate
Out on the trail
We got to the Tea House
Found the Japanese garden pond frozen
Sylvia had to check on just how thick the ice was.
Some very early flowers just starting.
We headed up pass the mansion and on to lunch
The pond at Murryhill Taphouse
We returned to Murryhill Taphouse for lunch
This time I had a nice stoat beer
