Hiking - Hawn State Park

Since the St. Louis area has once again been enjoying a Noah's Ark level of rain, the beautiful Mrs K and I went for another hike.  We decided on Hawn State Park.  We were nearly blown off the road on the drive down there, and hydroplaned a number of times.  Funny thing...once we arrived, it was warm, sunny, and dry.  Strange but welcome!
The trail started off with some very rugged rock formations and baby-head stones in the path.  Pretty cool.
 It gave way to a really cool pine tree area.  The sun was amazing!
 I took a picture of her taking a picture.
I wish I could say we enjoyed the whole trail.  It was about 4 miles total.  Once we got off of the connector trail and onto the loop, it was very overgrown and there appeared to be a ton of poison sumac in the path.  Yuck.  We struggled through that, found this last really cool rock overlook, and headed out.
