why helllllooooooo there
spooky szn has come and passed and it is time to move onto the next segment of the year – the giving of thx. as the oaks lose their last bits of leaves and snow flurries stick around a little longer, the sun will slowly lose enthusiasm and pack its bags earlier and earlier. it’s a lazy sun of a gun. all of this means that the outdoors will be a little bit more precious and worth savoring. go forth and bask in the shades of gray!
what we done did
- jackie and zoe tried to hike mt abraham but could not find the trailhead and there was plentiful snow so bushwhacked for 4 miles and then went to mt blue instead
