During the Christmas break, Chase and I hiked 47 miles of the Tuscarora 
Trail.  We began at Skyline Drive and ended at Cedar Creek, FDR 1863.  The 
weather cooperated and we had a little bit of snow on the trail, not enough 
to snow shoe upon.  Temps during the day were around 28* and the coldest 
night was 5* (luckily it was calm that night).  We met 8 hikers and 2 hounds 
on the first day, and thereafter had the trail to ourselves.  The winter 
views from the ridges were outstanding.  Every day we flushed a grouse or 
two.  We also saw fresh bear tracks, a dozen turkeys, several deer including 
a 4 pointer Buck, and one lonely squirrel.

I really like my new Lowa Renegade boots.  My pigs stayed warm and dry. 

Chase, the photographer, posted some pictures of our hike at:

Enjoy!!
