Oak Ridge Equestrian Area
Because one of us thinks the other needs
exercise, we often go out to nature areas to walk.
We had a few cool days in a row so we hadn't ventured
out for this type of activity in a while. January
21 was a nice, sunny day, with temps in the lower 70s so
we took the short drive south of Tippecanoe to the Lower
Hillsborough Wilderness Preserve, Oak Ridge Equestrian
Area. This is a 1000 acre nature preserve only a
few miles from us with hiking/walking/equestritan
trails. Usually in these regions you will see
quite a bit of wildlife but we didn't see anything on
our walk. Just as we were leaving, we did see two
young ladies riding horses but those were the only
animals we saw. Also, one of the trails that we
came back on would probably have been easier to traverse
if we had swum it! There was about 1/4 of well
over ankle deep water on the trail and beside it where
we had to go through the brush off the trail to stay
dry. We probably won't go back to this one!
