11-17-13 Delta Park I think

Seriously.  Maybe.  I think.  It was cold and I went out a lot of time where I did not even take pictures because it is no easy feat to take of neoprene gloves to operate an iPhone.


11-16-13 Mount Hunger

I have been up various parts of the Worcester Range, but never did the Stowe Mount Hunger approach. At the base it was bare ground and warm, at the top 4 inches+ of snow.
The view was amazing.  I had the peak to myself and unlike my usual quick to the top and back I stuck around.
Selfie are sometimes needed.
Looking East toward New Hampshire I believe, those should be the Presidentials.
The clouds were incredible.  Made an amazing panorama.
The light was just incredible.
See? Not lying, bare ground at the base

11-10-13 An Early Thanksgiving

Most of this blog is wilderness adventures on foot or in boats but I decided to include this anyways.  My sister lives out in California (where I lived for a little) and she managed to get back and our family did an early thanksgiving.
Eagerly awaiting food.
Lighting the candles.
Turkey has arrived.
Soooooo good.
After dinner snuggling.
All of us together

A nice photo from a run

To be honest I am pretty sure this was from a run because the point of view is not right for being in a kayak.  I almost did not post it but it is such a nice shot.

10-27-13 Halloween Pumpkin Carving

There was a contest at work and I made this.  For those not in the tech world, a 404 error is far more menacing than any other mark of the beast.
This is with different lights insides.  I was quite happy with the final result.


10-20-13 Delta Park

Was out trying to surf some waves at Delta Park, and as always the awesome end to a day is the sunset that I get first row seats.
Water temps were around 50 at this point, so not warm in the slightest.

10-20-13 Little River

Whenever I need to get out this is more than often the default.  It is close, usually not too crowded and a comfortable trail run.
And I park right here overlooking this view.  Not bad.
It is hunting season here in Vermont so Sal is dressed to impress.
You can see so far with the leaves down.
Little River was a community before the dam was built.  Scattered throughout are foundations from the 1800s farms and this cemetery with gravestones from before the Civil War.
Another house foundation, this one from around 1870.  The tree was not impressed.
Almost just starting to get tired.
There are also VAST trails, i.e. snowmobile trails, throughout.  These are some of their signs.
Pretty little stream, very cold water.
