Time to explore!

She is so happy, I have missed hiking!

A snowy evening bike ride

I was nice to be alone in the woods on my bike. The highlight was seeing what I thought was a porcupine, but research says they are not in North Carolina, so I don’t know what it was….

I knew I would finish in the dark but I was having a blast, at least till the last 1/2 hour, I was soaked and cold, as always, great to see my truck and warm cloths.

As I walked into the climbing gym tonight I could tell it was a different night… unbuttoned flannel shirts doing pull-ups, guys with their own face on the back of their jacket, and the smell of too much testosterone. Turns out the German competitors from this weekends Ninja Warrior TV show were training there…. thankfully they stayed on the bouldering side and never came into the ropes section.

A pretty afternoon to mountain bike, we have had record year to date rainfall in 2020 and most trails have been closed, so laps around Country Park were a special treat!

Cool ice on a morning hike.

the dirt must have been loose enough to allow the water to freeze and push up into tiny strands.

Bouldering – reaching for the top
