Wet Weekend

The rain poured mostly non-stop over the weekend in Southern Ohio, but the hikers of Cincioutdoors and Tri-State Hiking pressed on regardless. Eight people turned out Saturday for a 4.5 mile loop at Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati, and 7 [Six humans and Cindy the greyhound] showed up Sunday morning at Glenwood Gardens for an easy 2.8 mile stroll. Today, only I and TE appeared at the Little Miami Bike Trail in Loveland. The rain was fairly intense, but we still managed a respectable 8.4 miles in 2 1/2 hours, from Nisbet Park in Loveland to Fosters and back. The Little Miami River and its tributaries were impressive, way over their banks, big trees rolling downstream, and roaring waters. We were fairly soaked, but the Buzz Coffeehouse in Loveland was a good place to warm up afterwards.
