Stepping into the New Year

Hiking: Ok, this was not really "hiking" the way I know it, more like a 40-minute walk in the woods. Bev and I strolled around on some of the well manicured trails in the Chicopee Woods Nature Preserve. It has been an unusually warm day with only a few wisps of clouds floating by the conspicuous moon in the calm, blue sky. This was my first time on these walking trails, however for years I have ridden my mountain bikes at the nearby Chicopee MTB trails, Chicopee Ag Ctr trails, and Gainesville College (Drowning Creek) trails.

Although there were not a lot of people hiking these trails behind the Elachee Nature Science Center, it still seems a bit too tame to excite me. The exercise was probably appropriate for my current condition, but I can hardly wait to get back to the AT and other trail systems in the mountains.
