Thankful Thursday

We're having our turkey on Saturday so today we went for a hike with my Middle Brother. I had the mistaken memory that the Anne White Trail was the one to hike in the winter because it was sunny and the snow melted off the trail. WRONG! It's the trail to hike on in the summer because it is shaded. Oh well, it was a bit slippery in spots but worth the trouble.

We had to watch out for mountain lions but didn't see any (and we saw no deer in the trees!) We did see some huge tracks on the trail in various spots and after checking them out I'm fairly certain they were made by a mountain lion. Glad he/she was not hungry.

Some of the sights along the trail:

snow no snow
frozen waterfall

Picnic lunch

We made it all the way.

I am thankful for alternative holidays and little brothers who like to hike!
