TERRAIN: Cook Inlet Beach packed sand, several rock gardens. |

| I saw these messages flashing on a sign near the construction zone on Halbouty Road. |

| After the fatbike ride we took Laura and some of her friends for a hike up Skyline Trail. |

| Look closely and you can see four teenagers hiking down the ridge after reaching the summit of Skyline Trail. I would have been there, too, but they can move up a mountain much faster than me. |

It's a quick ride from Bishop Creek along the beach to the Swanson River in Capt. Cook State Park. In fact, it only takes about 50 minutes to go there and back. Good thing, because I didn't have much time for the ride before I had to be at home to transport Laura and some of her friends to the Skyline Trailhead for an afternoon hike. Afterward we went out for pizza, too.
So, the day was good. Filled with bike riding, hiking, listening to the banter of some bright kids on the way to a trailhead, and pizza. Doesn't get much better.
