The weather for this winter has been strange to say the least. There has been little snow fall in Burlington, days that are unseasonably warm and rain in January. Which means getting out on mountains is a bit more complicated because you are completely unsure if you will find ice, snow or mud. Or all three. I decide rather than hitting a mountain top to go to Little River and explore a bit. There was about 4 inches of snow but it was so crusty on top due to recent rain I left my snowshoes in the car.
Sal was ecstatic to get out on the trails.
It was good to see snow as well. There hasn't been more than an inch in Burlington.
A trail sign that has seen better days.
I decided not to forge this icy stream to go up the cut off trail, who knows how solid the ice was adn dips in a stream where not what I was looking for.
There used to be a sawmill here but I didn't get far enough along the trail to find it. I did find this though, which I believe implies there once was a farm here. Hardy folks.
