Bearpen

We had another unusually warm January day. I did a hike with Howie in the western Catskills. When I got to the trailhead off of Don Irwin road, it was nearly 50 degrees! Started walking up the old road. It had several switchbacks and a moderate grade. In short order, we reached the top of the old ski mountain. Not more than an inch or two of snow on the ground. Explored around a bit, ate a peanut butter sandwich and then headed back down. Didn't see anyone else in the woods today.
