Fall Hiking Series


Since this is my travel & food blog, the first entry is a review of the Fall Hiking Series.
 The Fall Hiking Series went from September 1, 2013 to November 30, 2013. I know the official start of fall is September 22, but for me fall starts with September & ends on the last day of November. Anyway, as I look forward to Winter Hike I am going to look back on the Fall Hiking Series & list some stats & other stats will have photos. Click to see blog.
