March Madness

Last week 10 of us and 5 dogs walked the Hell Hollow Road loop.  I only walked for about 40 minutes because of another commitment but the rest stopped at Sydell's for coffee near the end of the walk. It was icy on the roads and cloudy with snow flurries that morning. No exciting news to report. This is a five mile walk but with the stop at Sydell's , a slight break at maybe 4 1/2 miles but right after climbing a hill.

This week we walked early on Tuesday doing the Camp Rd circuit to the stone house and back, another five mile trek. Today was delightfully warm but we aren't fooled as a major storm is in the works for tomorrow, thus March madness.  You get fooled in March as the sun is warmer and the time changes so right now at 5:30 it is still 50 degrees and bright sun out.  What storm?   There were 8 of us and 3 dogs.

Next week? maybe snowshoes are in order again.  We will wait to see how much snow.sleet, freezing rain, ice mixture we get and my driveway is finally without ice! If we do get the storm I would prefer snow over the mixture.

These two walks we do often as we get in the mileage and they are close by.  The trails aren't attractive right now as it is the start of mud season.
