[rdudley@po.father.com]

The week beforeThanksgiving I went on a short hike with the boy 
scouts from Port Clinton to Rte 183 in PA.  This was the cold weekend 
and on Saturday we has snow flurries and ice pellets.  The climb out 
of Port Clinton was kind of stiff for the old, out of shape adults, 
but the boy literally ran up the mountain.  Once on top of the 
mountain the rest of the hike leveled out.  It as ridge running al 
the way.  Spent the night in Eagle Nest shelter.  I did not pack a 
tarp or tent so I spent the night in the shelter.  Te shelter was 
really nice and the spring had water!!!  Sunday was a quick 6 miles 
out throught some preety nice trail, thought there was one really 
rocky section.

I did not get any hiking in this past wekend even though the weekend 
was beautiful.  I did get several walks in and I spent a lot of time 
with my family.  My daugther was up from college and we had a great 
weekend.  I am sick of turkey and ready to get back to work.  I hope 
everyone had a good holiday weekend.
