Type of Adventure: Snowshoe hike
Place of Adventure: Patch Hollow, LT/AT
Length of Adventure, miles: approx. 2
Length of Adventure, hours: 1.75
Companion(s): Colyn
Other Adventurers Encountered: None
Weather: Sunny, temps in upper 20's, windy at beaver bog, only a couple inches of snow
Notes: 1. I didn't really need the snow shoes. Almost all the snow melted off in the recent warm weather. I ended up taking them off and leaving them in the cabin while we hiked the rest of the way up to the beaver bog. 2. If you have to pee in the woods in the winter, try to find a bucket in a cabin to make life easier. 3. The cabin is about half way to the beaver bog. Follow the sort of path/ stream up the hill. There will be 2 intersections. At the first, bear left, at the 2nd, bear right. Another time I'll have to follow the left hand trail at the 2nd intersection. It continues up hill at least a little. 4. I saw a nifty rotting tree stump with some kind of mold growing in it. I thought it was snow at first, but it wasn't.

What do you see?
(I saw a horned animal about to charge me. Think buffalo or moose.)
