Thursday was overcast and very cool, but we packed our raincoats in the backpacks and headed out on the trail. The trails at Greenbrier were particularly well marked, blazed on the trees plus park maps (with "you are here") at every intersection. The only difficulty was that they were covered with leaves and one had to walk with care over the numerous rocks to avoid a twisted ankle. But we spent two hours exploring the area, hiking around the lake (with deserted beach area that must be much used in the summer, judging from the hundreds of parking spaces and picnic tables). That was not enough to wear Ranger out, but it was enough for us. Dan started a fire early and we huddled around it; still very cool and overcast weather. The rain held off, though, allowing Dan to grill pork chops and bake potatoes for dinner.
