Hike Report

Last weekend, we completed a hike in preparation for longer ones to come. If the idea was to endure hardships to make future walks easier or to build appreciation for a warm homestead, we were totally successful.

Although only 45 minutes north of home, there was a lot more snow on the trail than expected, it was colder, and a dampness in the air was ever-present. Once anything got wet, it stayed that way!

Still, there were interesting things to see, and the woods are always strangely serene when under snow.

Someone should write a poem about that.
