This week, Deb and I had an extremely busy Saturday. We had plans to go hiking in the morning, and then swap presents at our friend's Maureen and Brian's annual Christmas party in East Hampton. Because of all the rush, we needed to convince Rob and Sof to stay close to home, which wasn't that hard to do. :-) Since we already hiked Lantern Hill two week's back, we decided to do Bluff Point in Groton.
It was an extremely cold morning, especially since we were hiking so close to the shore. The wind was bitter cold, blowing right off the top of that ocean. It was biting at everyone's nose and fingers during the entire hike, although Kali didn't seem to mind a bit.
I didn't take any pictures this time around, so I will post some from last year when we were there, on December 22nd. You won't see Rob in these set of pictures, but he was there all right, setting the pace.
We ended up hiking one complete loop, and then decided to hike out to the portable lavatories, about another mile and a half around the loop again. We did 6.7 miles total according to Rob's pedometer. Lunch and Starbucks was enjoyed in Mystic, and a good time was had by all.
See everyone next week!
Joe
