I'm posting our Christmas hike a little late, but here it is...
Since there was a significant amount of ice and snow on the ground that day, we decided to do a very flat hike with not many obstacles. Bluff Point was the perfect choice in this situation.
As it turned out, the first half of Bluff Point was extremely slippery, and we were trying our damnedest not to slip and fall. We were lucky, and didn't, thank-God. The second half of our hike was less slippery than the first, but we were still hiking with stiff legs, making sure.
We did meet a group of three hikers who mentioned that one of them has hiked all of the Blue blazed trails in Connecticut... some 400 or so miles in all. They did mention that Ct's blue trails have since been expanded to about 6 to 7 hundred miles. It was nice to share the love of the outdoors with fellow hikers.
When we were almost back to our cars, we also passed a friend who I work with, Richard, and his girlfriend, who were just starting their hike that morning. We wished them a successful hike, warned them about the ice, and we exchanged our Merry Christmas greetings.
Well, here are the best of the pics from our Christmas hike.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Joe
