Today seemed like a great day for a hike!  Sure, it’s a bit warm … and by “a bit warm” I mean it’s sweltering hot.  That great fireball in the sky has been cooking everything in its path, especially all the plants on our back patio.  I doubt they are surviving this summer.

But the good thing about being in the woods is all that wonderful shade.

Philly has its share of nice parks.  Fairmount Park is the main one, and it’s definitely huge.  While we do like to bike through there it isn’t really a “hike through the woods” type park.  So where do you go to get away into the woods when you live in the heart of a huge city?
