We woke to snow, 9 degrees, and another 'winter storm warning'. Not wanting to do a long drive for uncertain conditions we went to nearby City Forest. We did the West Trail , parts of the rail bed, Main Rd., and Loop Rd. After the last two cold days the crust was even harder and walking was easy and we met a few people which made Kelley happy.
Some of what we saw.
The West Trail
The ice has not melted
Because of the harder crust we got on the part of the rail bed we missed last time. This area is more marshy/boggy.
On our way back we passed the path down to the beaver pond and Kelley wanted to take it. I knew it would be frozen but we went anyway and, of course, she was disappointed.
She didn't want to leave and so as I waited for to accept the situation I got a couple of pictures
She eventually got up and we went back to the car. The gray was quite a contrast to the sun we had yesterday but we still had an enjoyable two hour hike.
