This view across County Rd 17 isn't looking wintery. I like it!

Little by little the spring wildflowers are starting. Spring Beauty opened here and there.

The morning was very difficult with missing trail and lots of mud. Let's talk about something better. I ate lunch at the Boyce Hill Shelter in Boyce Hill State Forest.

The really nice thing that happened there was that Boy Scout Troop 5 of Buffalo, NY, showed up. They were planning to spend the night there. We talked for a few minutes about the trail, Hike 100, etc.

I'd tell you more, but I'm really tired, and tomorrow is going to be a really hard day. I'm going back to fill in the pieces I had to put on hold because of the closed road.
Miles today: 15.3. Total miles so far: 1732.3.

ReplyDeleteLulu: "Hmm, I see the air at the loo, but I'm not sure I see the conditioning!"
ReplyDeleteFirst rate amenities with the air conditioned loo...lol
ReplyDeleteI bet the scouts had a nice visit with you. Love the loo!
ReplyDeleteKathie- I guess the prayers worked. Today wasn't bad at all!
ReplyDeleteLulu- Depends on the condition of the sky
Ann- Indeed! The fiberglass ones don't get cold
Lin- These particular scouts may not be too outdoorsy. They seemed underthrilled to be there. :D
