A couple of laps on a very cold but also very nice day. I think the high was about 32 or 33. Sunny bluebird skies were very nice. Everything remained frozen most of the day, including some weird ice projections from the moist soil. Lots of rain here since my last visit. Maybe over 5 inches.

Today might have been a good day for Mt Mohican, but I didn't really feel like hiking that as it is more miles than elevation, and there may have been down trees. As it was there were a few down trees out on the fire road. I have no idea how the AT is maintained outside of the pack season. At some point I would like to hike Mohican again, and maybe I will get lucky with some skies like today later on in the winter or early spring to do it. Days being so short, I don't have time to take in a lap here before another Mohican hike.

Hardly anyone was here relative to every other weekend and it was really nice as a result. Quiet at times, and it felt more relaxed. I went out to that point 1549 or whatever to tag that one, since it was really cold and ticks should be inactive. I went to the top and realized why I didn't bother last time. It's not really much of anything, but the east is like that with trees everywhere.

With few people here today I was able to enjoy hearing birds on the trail. It might have been the first time here. Chickadees, but I like them.
