It was cold this morning but Candy and I bundled up well and hiked the 5.5 miles down to Dennison Run and then up to the lookout on the Kennerdell Tract. One of our favorite hikes even though it has huge hills to climb. ( Some pictures HERE... )

I admire how you go out in the cold and exercise like that. I don't know if I could make myself do that! I'm sure it's very good for you and that's good that you could take a nap after.

I have never seen curly ice before. The wonders of nature!

"The snow shines like rainbow diamonds in the sun and powdered snow sifts out of the trees sparkling on the way down.": sounds like a wonderland!

Your blueberry pancakes sound very yummy and also the cold brewed coffee with creamer working its way down. It looks like it is frozen!

It really helps me to have a hiking buddy. I doubt I would do anything like this alone but cause we have a date to hike or bike every Monday it happens. Then afterwards I’m so glad we went. Plus it doesn’t seem cold if you are covered up good with lots of layers and you keep moving. We both commented a few times how it didn’t seem that cold when we were walking.

I think a hiking buddy would help a lot.

Old Flame is supposed to walk 1/2 hr per day, but he doesn't do it.

I think if you have warm clothes you can do it. I have to have clothes that keep me a comfortable temperature. But I also have trouble with getting a cold face, sore throat and eyes etc. I'm glad you don't have that problem.

Yes, I think I would be glad afterwards, too, but it would take a walking buddy for me to make myself do it!

Nice lookout view! :-)

It is quite impressive up there. It's really nice that they built a platform with a railing and bench to make it a good destination for a hike.

I have friends who swear that cold brewed is an art, but I always thought they were talking about the flavour ;)..

I really don't know that much about it. It came in a glass with ice in it and Hazel thinks it's pretty great. Then she added creamer to it. She seems to think it tastes better than hot brewed coffee.
