Yesterday afternoon we decided to go to Cuivre River State Park for a hike. Daddy had found a trail that looked interesting online, Charlie said he would like to see the river, and Moppy loves this park! The weather was perfect for a nice hike! The Trail is Frenchman's Bluff and is supposed to be two miles long... As we started hiking the trail was a bit wetter then we had expected but not too bad and the scenery more then made up for it... the wild flowers are starting to bloom and there is a little creek running along the trail. We hike up to the bluff which has some amazing views of the river and Troy. We run into a few other hikers and see a lady on horse back. We realize that we have not seen any of our trail markers in a while but decide to push on and see where we end up. Well the Equestrian trail comes into the Frenchman's bluff trail and we take a fork of it ... lets just say BAD plan! At first it was still a nice hike but then we get to the mud and we are talking muddy Missouri clay that is like six inches deep! Daddy is having to carry Charlie. This seems like forever and then we reach a fork and take our best guess as which way we should go which thankful is out of the mud! Then we come to another fork which is the last thing we wanted to see at the point and guess again which leads us back to the Same section of Trail we had Hiked earlier. I will not lie at six PM with sun going down and the clouds moving in a was starting to wonder if we would get out of the woods by dark but about two and half hours after we started our hike we were back at the Playground playing for a bit before heading to dinner a bit muddy but have had a wonderful hike in the woods.
