I know I am! Rain or shine... but hopefully shine! I am going to try to triple my last distance... but it will help that I will get out earlier and have more daylight  Grin

Nope. It snowed again. The good news is that I got some good hiking time in this week, because the snow melted last week. I did some testing of the PN-40 GPSr, and I checked the access trail for the start of a potential bushwhack this spring. The better news is that it only snowed about .5in, so it'll melt by Sunday. I don't bother hiking on snow around here, because there's usually ice hidden underneath, and I don't like landing on my tush, which has a bag full of camera gear above it. Wink

Enjoy!

our group is recovering from the crud, so we are gonna do some geocaches that require short hikes. Most of those are on the eastern side of 33.   Hopefully we will get some rain next week, as we are wanting to photo the caspey creek falls.

Nooooo.....I'm in a conference this weekend.

But soon hopefully. There's a lady I work with that keeps promising to show me a canyon and waterfall in back of Paul Grist State Park near Selma.

Matt is off to Oak mountain today with Jackson (our hiking dog) to break in his new ruff-wear pack; I'm stuck at home studying. Tomorrow we're probably going to to the Cave Creek Trail for more "training". The goal is to try to get Jackson ready for the big spring break trip to Joyce Kilmer/Slickrock Wilderness in N.C.  Missy (our frou frou dog) is highly jealous.

Tomorrow should be pretty but chilly. The trail was great but it reminded me how out of shape I am!

Did the Chinnabee Silent trail today and it was a perfect day for ramblin in the woods. There were a lot of people out today. Saw at least 25 on this trail alone and all parkking areas were full. Just a great day. Carl W Smiley Smiley Smiley

I did the Chinnabee two weekends ago from Turnipseed to the Pinhoti, the Pinhoti to Adams Gap, the Skyway Loop Trail back to the Chinabee and back to Turnipseed. Did not see a soul until halfway of the Skyway. A group of Boy Scouts caught up with me (I'm old and slow). Met one day hiker later. There were several cars at both the Turnipseed parking and Adams Gap parking. I guess I just missed all the people.

A friend and I did a bushwhack of a side creek off of Hubbard Creek.  Very pretty, nothing spectacular..... . but i don't think I saw a single human footprint.   Grin

I was going to go on a trail up in Las Cruces, NM this weekend but the person who was supposed to go with me has ceased contact with me so I doubt it is going to happen. I may go somewhere by myself.
