Now that we've had a potluck and happy hours, let's have a nature walk. The hiking groups in the area tend to have walks of at least 3 miles, and they're often considerably longer. Our walk is easier, at 2 miles. It's known as the "Lake Thoreau Loop Trail," as well as the "Red Trail," and it's a loop around Lake Thoreau.
We'll meet in front of the Starbucks in South Lakes Village" (https://southlakesvillage.com/).
I've walked a bit of the trail, but not the whole thing, so this should be a fun discovery for me, too. For more info on the walk, see the following resources:

There are places in South Lake Village to eat, so if people want to eat afterwards, you're welcome to do that, though I may or may not join for that part, as I'm on Weight Watchers to preserve my girlish figure. ;-)
