went for a walk in the woods with my wife this afternoon. It was a gentler trail than I usually hike when I'm on my own - about six miles with a successon of rolling hills. The trail I usually hike when I'm on my own is essentially three miles uphill, a short walk along the ridge, then three miles downhill. When time and conditions permit I usually add an extra loop that involves about two extra miles and another 650 feet of climbing. It goes down the other side of the mountain and takes in a nice vista.
Do you know why Floridians don't get downhill skiing?.......They don't understand how you can keep water on a slant.
Went for another walk, this time by myself. I had hoped to get out to the vista but when I got to the top of the mountain there was still snow as far as I could see heading down the hill, so I decided to cut that loop out. I still managed a little over 7 miles with 1500 feet of climbing. Today felt like a battle, like my legs just weren't really into it.
The closest we come to a mountain is My Dora. (For you non-Floridians Mt Dora is a city in central Florida.)
Is it as flat as Iowa? I heard it said that if you stacked a couple of phone books on the ground in Iowa and stood on them, you could see across the state in all directions.
Hawkwind in the am followed by rain then dust-devils then tumbleweeds then rain then thick fog then rain then freezing hawkwind then.. Have 3 different jackets in rotation. Might just crack. Snow gone lower levels, thick in the heights.
