Winter made a timely entrance this year. Snow fell heavier than expected on Friday after school ended for 11 days and I made an effort to get out and ski at the break of winter on Saturday. Timing is everything.
The first ski of the season on South Hill revealed a surprising new development: someone (not me) has cleared the old rail bed behind the houses on Kendal Ave. I haven't checked with the Town Parks Dept. yet, but it seems like large equipment was needed and they have it. Maybe it was to increase access to college kids on Kendal to have a more direct route to Second Dam?
She's still around. Probably old enough to have a fawn this year. About 1% of deer express the gene necessary for this.
You've heard of ice wine and cider, now get ready for ice hot sauce.
Took a drive to the Arboretum for a spin around the grounds, and then checked out the Dryden Rail Trail to Rt. 13 and saw signs of progress on the north side of the highway.
Since the snow was on the thin side, Gail wore her rock skis.
My new coworker, Bailey, is a skier and lives near the Burns Rd. end of the Rec Way so we met there and I showed her some of the trails in the woods. She survived.
Alas, the snow melted and precipitation turned to rain. I went out in it to tend to the trails that had some obstructions.
Out in Caroline, Andy and I were able to cut a tree that fell across a trail. He didn't think we could do it using my folding saw, but we got it done. I've been told that Connie went by later and was able to get the trunk to stand up straighter.
