Hello Hikers!
Wednesday Dec 7
Road Walk — Fairfield Road and Barden Road, Candor
This was the third road walk in a row I picked out sight-unseen, just by looking at Google Maps. My good luck held — beautiful country scenery all along the way.
We also lucked out with some fantastic atmospherics — the snow that fell overnight had melted in town but it was piled deep out here — gorgeous dark grey dramatic sky — mist and fog on the hillsides
We passed some picturesque farms, and livestock standing out in the snowy fields
After a while, the sun came out and it felt almost balmy

We didn’t have either of our regular nature photographers with us, so I took some scenic-type shots myself — you can see seven here
