Beach-First Landing Hike 1-29-13

State Park to Lesner Bridge Jan.29, 2013

Another sunny, unseasonably warm Jan. day greeted 27 Tuesday Group hikers as we gathered at Cape Henry Plaza on Shore Dr. in Va.Bch. Heading in to First Landing State Park along the bike trail, we then crossed Shore Dr. to hike the beach north to the Ft. Story boundary. Heading back south along the beach to the Lesner Bridge, we paused along the way to enjoy the views of Chesapeake Bay, sea birds, ships at anchor and several small children playing in the sand. The water was so calm that several of us thought we should have been paddling. After a relaxing stop at C.P.Shuckers for lunch, we headed back north along the bike trail. Covering a distance of ~8 miles seemed easy with the good conversation and beautiful weather making for an enjoyable day outside.
