Bear in mind

I did a hike with Howie in the Southern Taconics. Parked at the trailhead on Route 41 in CT (which was nearly full) and started out on the Under Mountain trail. There was a dusting of snow in the woods and the sun was out. Took the Paradise Lane trail around to the north side of the mountain. Turned left onto the Appalachian Trail for the final push to the summit. It was a bit steep with some icy spots. After that little workout, I reached the top and took a lunch break. Continued along south on the AT and then turned onto the Under Mountain trail and soon was back at the car. Had a nice afternoon for our short hike, and I remembered my camera this time.
