What a beautiful day! Sunny weekends are much appreciated in March. Yesterday was cooler, though that didn't stop me from taking a 20 mile bike ride up the Platte river trail. Today is even nicer, perfect for a hike. I have committed to doing one beginner per month because i know a lot of people are hesitant to start out on a 6 or 7 mile hike. Rightly so, but i hope you guys are out there walking in your neighborhoods and such to prepare. This route would be great for beginners to do on their own. There was quite a bit of packed snow, slush, frozen slush, frozen mud, slippery mud on the route currently. It's just par for the course this time of year. I had one hiking pole the whole way, it's nice to add some stability on the slippy spots.I did hike alone, This isn't the first hike where no one else showed, but this was the first without Karen either. She is still getting over her sickness and i "made her sleep-in" instead of hiking. Evan and Gilbert were supposed to come but Evan had just enough fun at a late birthday celebration to not feel up to hiking. I don't know about Gilbert, but i suspect that the time change may have played a role. It nearly messed me up this morning. No big deal, I tried to look majestic in the before and after pics even though i was taking a group shot of myself.
