Sometimes, when you're sick, going a few miles down the road to a public park is going to have to count as a hike.

| Gotta fuel up for the "trail" |
I was recovering from a nasty cold that had been sweeping through my cast and crew, I was exhausted from producing a musical, and the weather had been fairly crappy leaving me with a great desire to be a lump on my couch. I knew I had to get a hike in for March though, so I soldiered out for a brief solo stroll to Seahurst Park!
It's relatively close to my house, but seeing as I had never been there before, it counted! It was nice to be reminded that we have so many stewards of our lands. There are SO MANY different levels of land management (all of which are overworked and under-funded) so while National Parks will always hold a special place in my heart, it's a great reminder to know that there are State and Local authorities that are also looking to create beautiful spaces for everyone to enjoy.

Seahurst has several picnic shelters, a great waterfront walking path, beaches to be combed, and plenty of driftwood for forts too. It was really nice to see families out enjoying the sun breaks, runners stretching their legs, photographers working during golden hour, and even a few flowers beginning to peak out for spring.

This may not be my most memorable hike this year, but I'm very glad I got out to do it! I promise, April's hike will more than make up for the lack of mileage here :)
