Friday Hike: Coal Mine Ridge

I did a shortish hike this morning, and it was pleasant, as the fog had dissipated, but still cool on the trail. The trail was reasonably close to my house, so it made for an easy day out, as compared to the epic hike I did on Monday. Some folks with the holiday spirit had even put ornaments on a couple of trees along the trail. I also found a fun swing to play on.

There were many good vista points along the trail

Bridge Selfie. This was a particularly narrow bridge, with a rope to help with balance.
Some colorful berries, which were ornamental in their own way
Fancy Mushroom
The duck pond, which was quite murky
