Little Bennet Regional Park

This morning Kandi, Lisa, & I hiked in the 70 degree weather in Little Bennet Park. http://www.mc-mncppc.org/Parks/PPSD/ParkTrails/trails_MAPS/trailmap_pdfs/LittleBennett_trails.pdfdf We hiked from the Kinglsey Parking area (where he had our labor day grill out back in September) down the Kingsley Trail. We turned up in the Purdum Trail and cut back across Browning Run Trail and down the Pine Knob Trail to Logger's Trail and that concluded our loop. There was a bit of trail blazing towards the finish line that resulted in a bit of blood, making our day of hiking complete.
[Its all fun and games until someone gets hurt and then its hilarious!] I did not take my camera today because it was so overcast but I did take my binoculars so I could get some practice in. I didn't see anything exciting, but enjoyed watching house wrens, turkey vultures, blue jays, white throated sparrows, and cardinals. We also heard a lot of chickadees, woodpeckers, and angry squirrels. Our loop was approximately 3 miles putting me at a total of 6.8 miles for the month of March.

For dinner tonight I made roasted garlic couscous with imitiation crab meat, toasted pine nuts, parsley, & cherry tomatoes. Turned out pretty good. I've made couscous quite a few times in the past but this was the first time I roasted garlic to put in it.
