That was us, Anne and me after our long-postponed eye exams. It was last Thursday, and the day was snowy and overcast when we walked over to the eye doctor. On the way home, with our pupils dilated after the exam, the sun came out and the brilliance was overwhelming…
Yesterday was a hike with Doug & Lori. Our planned hike was basically Bake Oven Knob, but the final section of mountain road to the trailhead — straight up, “not maintained in winter” — was too icy and treacherous to drive. We conferred a bit, and went instead to the Lehigh Gap Nature Center and walked some of the trails there. None of us remembered to bring our Yak-Trax or any other winter hiking gear except warm clothes, and the trails — surprise! — were pretty icy. We had an interesting climb up, and an even more interesting hike down at the the end, but it was a good day out, and good to hang out with those guys.
