Story:
This was going to be a much longer hike, but Dwayne overslept and so we started almost an hour behind schedule. Just as well, as Mike had injured one of his legs in a freak accident with his other foot...
Still, this was a nice 6-mile hike in pleasant weather. We hiked the Mallard Slough trail just in time - which is why I chose this hike for today - as it will be closed for duck hunting season starting the following day. Also there was another sign, which if I read it correctly, suggested that the Mallard Slough trail will in fact be closed for a full *two years* for habitat restoration.
As such, it seems that much of this hike won't be possible again for a couple of years. We may have only done half the hike I had planned, but at least we got the important part done!

Tips:
There's basically no shade, so prepare accordingly. It's flat, flat, flat.
