Trail update

Spring is an evil trickster. After warm, sunny, summer like conditions for the past few weeks, the last 5 days have felt more like late November in new england. Had to hike in cold rain one day and the next was just cold. Probably around 40 degrees both days. It actually snowed on top of roan mtn according to our hiking friend's cowgirl and viking. Not the most fun hiking days, but I knew that they were part of the deal when I started this trail so you just have to bite your lip and keep going. We had a rocking fire last night which was a real pick me up.

Today was much better in comparison. I literally woke up to these views:






I went to sleep the night before in sub freezing temps in an old, drafty, barn literally used during the revolutionary war and awoke to the sun peaking over a mountain to the east. Talk about a morning boost. It was still chilly but it was the first I've seen the sun in what feels like weeks. In hybrid's absence I am hiking with a real good group of guys and having a great time with them.

Here are some more shots from the past couple days.
