Since yesterday was so nasty, I really wanted to get out and do some hiking today. Cathy and I went to Timber Creek. The snow was better for snowmen than for hiking.
It was very sloppy. I wore the foam snowshoes, and Cathy just wore cleats. Neither was ideal. Ideal was not an option. The woods was stark with wet trees and partially melted snow.
The most interesting thing we saw was a hole where some critter poked its nose. We didn't see tracks, though.
We walked out and back. So if you want to hike north from Timber Creek things are pretty well compacted for 1.25 miles right now!
I edited and did miscellaneous stuff.

Nice you were able to get out and hike. I like the snow face on the tree.
ReplyDeleteAnn- we decided that if there wasn't much that was camera worthy we would make something

ReplyDeleteBean- I'll bet you would!
