Hike in the Woods

It was a good day, here are some happy highlights:

  • My friend Stephanie and I met up for a hike in the woods (Kuncanowet Town Forest). We also brought her dog, Kip.  Kip takes a little bit to warm up to new people.  I'm not new, but it has been a while since we've seen each other.  Kip showed us that I was part of the pack (at least for today) by stopping to wait for me when I got behind.  This happened often.  Such a good dog.
Waiting.
  • The trail seemed well packed so we didn't use our snowshoes.  Later, that wasn't the case and the snowshoes would have been useful.  Since I wasn't wearing snowshoes, I hiked with my not quite full backpack.  I sank into the snow often.  This was good training though and I haven't done enough of that.
  • The weather today was nice for hiking on snow covered trails.  It was above freezing and partly sunny.  I had to unzip my jacket.  The frozen ponds and the white floor of the woods were pretty.
