Did you notice Norm standing on the fallen tee trunk?

It wasn’t a very promising day for a hike — good chance of rain, and it was supposed to be very gusty — in fact, we got just a little rain on the way back to the cars, and the wind wasn’t noticeable under the trees — the snow was quite slippery and this gave all of us a great workout on the many steep parts of the walk. Delightful morning for those who like bleak winter scenery and gloomy atmospherics.
