Hiking - Tishomingo State Park, MD April 12

 We headed over to Tishomingo state park which is only about 20 minutes away Tishomingo is located in the foothills population characterized by approximations these rock formations are the current nowhere else in the state. The first trail we did here her was the outcroppings trail it begins and ends at the swinging bridge although we think at the end we may have merged onto deer Creek Trail. This trail works its way along a ridge of huge rock outcroppings and offers splendid you in the valley and travels through. The Chickasaw Indians lived in the caves among these rocks when they inhabited the area. (2.1 niles) We finished the hike, we had a picnic lunch at a table near the swimming pool. 

Next we drove over to the Saddleback Ridge Trail. This again is a large outcropping of rocks and this trail was used by the Chickasaw Indians to travel to the freedom hills area in the north. As we came back down towards the pond we got onto a trail that circle the CCC pond called pond trail. These trails were all constructed by the civilian conservation corps during the great depression. (2.4 miles) We did almost 4 miles today and headed back to the campsite to relax for a bit.

Later, Scotty took BenjiBear for a ride in the kaysk around the secluded bay. Wr still need to get him used to riding in a kaysk without whining. As we expected, he did better because he couldnt see me in ghe truck.
