I know two years in a row, can hardly be called a tradition, but it is a start. Last year on New Year’s Day Donna and I went for a hike in the Sumter National Forrest on a trial that we used to mountain bike back in the day. The Horn Creek Trail is almost 6 miles long in Lick Fork State Park about 30 miles from Aiken. This year we invited another couple we know from the Miata Club to join us. Even though both John and I had washed our cars the day before, we didn’t flinch too bad at having to drive the last 1/2 mile to the trailhead on a dirt/gravel road. (I did use the California Duster when I got home.)
