Today we drove to Lake Mahoney State Park to hike some trails and see some birds and sights. We hiked about four miles through the woods along the Platte River, after climbing up the observation tower when we first arrived. It was really windy, and the tower was rocking – good thing we didn’t bring Buster – he would have been freaked out! J
There was a railroad track alongside the trail below the bluff, so we saw several long trains go by while we hiked. It was a beautiful area, and we stopped for a rest at one natural gully that was filled with birds, including hummingbirds. We saw about 8-10 different bird species just at that one spot!
Along our trail, we came upon two deer walking along slowly and munching. They watched us back! J

Hoping to gain access to the Platte River, we drove down to Platte River State Park, but it had no direct access, either. Both of the parks were beautiful, with cabins for lodging, and extensive activities on their grounds. There were more parks in the area, so we found this to be a really nice outdoors place!
