Thank you. The underbrush dies back quickly as soon as the temps drop, the density of the canopy also makes a lot of difference. I met a snake on the trail in December, so I’m realizing I need to watch out for them whenever the temps pick up a bit. The lack of bugs (and heat) makes winter and early spring my favorite times to get out!

We’ve been busy, but I still get out as often as I can. I just bought some new shoes and a different hammock, so I’d better get out!

Winter is a good time, no ticks and chiggers and snakes to deal with.
