“Walking Wendy” Party (11/13/10)

Resized Nov 13 2010 Celebration 1 Twenty-plus folks, including members of the Monday and Tuesday Meandering in Marin groups, gathered at Lake Lagunitas on Saturday, November 13, 2010 to officially celebrate Wendy’s return to the trail after three months of convalescence and rehab following surgery for the leg broken on the final day of her summer trip to Costa Rica.  (In case you’ve not been hiking with us this fall, recently Wendy has been joining us for portions of our weekly outings and has been given the okay to hike up and down hill as wellResized Nov 13 2010 Celebration Toast as on the flat).

We began with a leisurely loop hike around the lake looking for turtles, coots, and acorn woodpeckers.  Wendy led a side excursion off the main trail to hunt for newts.

After a couple of hours we returned to the picnic area; champagne corks popped and four luscious desserts were devoured. (Click here for a brief YouTube video clip of the party).
