Hiking at Bluebell Path

It was a perfectly lovely day for our hike along the Bluebell Path in Bull Run. Chris, Debbie, and Marilyn encountered some not so ferocious wild things that we, sadly, did not record on camera. (There was a group of fantasy players dressed up and searching for "loot")

This walk is a good one for people who do not get out much and who may not have a whole day for a hike. It's a flat and easy path. We walked for almost an hour and did a loop. Next time we will head down Bull Run and turn around when we felt we've had enough.
