February is the worst

Mother Nature and my immune system have been giving me fits this month. Alexis and I are in recovery from a cold that’s been going around. She ended up with the worst of it. The weather is conspiring against us with snow, rain, and chilling winds. When I was young I would pray for snow, now it’s just the opposite. Despite it all we have managed to get out of the house and do some geocaching. On Saturday, we had a little adventure in a undeveloped area in McKinney. The parks department decided to put a paved trail in the middle of nowhere.
I’m assuming that they anticipate a neighborhood to spring up around it. We had a heck of a time trying to find parking as the trail doesn’t connect with the surrounding roads. Our final parking spot was at a nearby school which was within reasonable walking distance. Our walk to the trail led us past some abandoned farm buildings.
Then we crossed an overpass with rushing water underneath.
Unfortunately our trip only had a 50:50 success rate. We noticed that some of the trees and brush had been cut or simply removed. Despite the “Did Not Finds”, the trip was fun and we enjoyed ourselves.
