Go Speed Racer Go

All and all it was a busy day. I though hiking would have been a wash out since the pouring rain woke me up this morning, but it turned out nice. Our fearless leader Walk Girl didn't show so M2 and myself did the hike. It was a nice trail along the inner waterways. I forgot my camera so no pics sorry. It was really interesting at one point the area is completely overgrown with Spanish moss. We grabbed Subway like usual. Our slow employee was no where to be seen this week which was a blessing.

I had one emergency patient before I headed over to meet the Singles and Speed Racer the movie. I was a big fan of it as a kid so I really wanted to see this live action movie. I had to admit they did a really good job of adapting. The casting was pretty dead on except Sprockets. Mom Racer who never existed in the cartoon added some nice touches to the movie. I would have to say if racing was like this in real life I would watch it more often.

Hiking

I got up this morning already to hike. Got dressed and since I had extra time I went online to see that Walking girl had cancelled the hike. There was another Mike who she thought was me who said he couldn't make it. I was bummed and asked since I was still game did she want to go. She was all for it and we actually got 2 others to join in.

Walk girl was attractive and she had used a older picture of herself, but it was great to meet her. With a few problems finding everyone we were out on the trails. We had a great day for it. I was hoping to get a picture of a woodpecker whacking a tree, but he took off before I could grab a shot. I did get some of the turtles sunning themselves. There was no snakes, but a lot of interesting bird calls that we could never find the source of. We crossed bridges over the water with cyress trees cover in Spanish moss, passed Indian burial grounds, and just peaceful areas deep in the woods.

I had made the mistake of thinking Walk girl was walking at 6 am during the week, but it was pm instead. So not this week, but the following I will try to get out to walk in the great weather. Next week we're shooting for a beach walk.

Afterwards we hit Subways for food and drinks after our 5 mile hike. Walk girl said she would come to my Happy Hour event Friday so I can talk more to her then.
