Walking In The Woods

It's good to know a few trails you can go on the days with unpredictable weather. This one we went to yesterday is one of our favorites, just outside our town by a curvey road for about 15 minutes. It would have been a great opportunity to break my new boots in before we actually climb the peaks, but I was afraid that the trail would be too muddy.

Last time we were on this trail was almost 4 years ago when we cooked some hotdogs over an open fire, which was a nice but stupid idea; as soon as we started the fire, wind picked up and forced us to eat our dogs half done, blackened on the outside and cold inside. I didn't really care, almost anything tastes good over a fire!

I took about 90 shots on this trail yesterday, and I hope you can get a feel of being in the woods from some of them.
