Yes, I looked into the park we visited last spring. The trail maps are still the same but they added a small observation deck near the creek. I think we should plan for a Saturday morning when the crowds are lightest. My cousin mentioned the wildflower bloom should be good that week. We could pack a lunch and spend a few hours there. I will bring my binoculars in case we spot any birds. Let me know if you prefer a different time. The parking situation might be tight so arriving early would help. We can also check the weather closer to the day. I can send you the parking details in a separate note. Just let me know if that works for you.

I think I will adjust the seasoning in that vegetable stew recipe. Last time I used a bit too much paprika so I plan to cut it in half. Also I want to add some fresh thyme at the end instead of dried. My friend suggested roasting the carrots separately before adding them. That should deepen the flavor. I might also swap the white beans for chickpeas for a different texture. What do you think about using a splash of balsamic vinegar? I read that can brighten the broth. Let me know if you have any other ideas.
