Today I went on a hike with my uncle Jim at Hurricane Creek Park.  It was a great day to get out and do some bushwhacking.  We covered about 5.5 miles, including a rarely used 2 mile out and back called the creekside trail that was pretty overgrown and hard to follow. That side spur aside though, the trail was really nicely maintained and it's a great place to take a day hike.
