Though the snow and cold temperatures seem to keep trying to hold on, I did see some little green things sprouting up in the mud at Blue Mountain Reservation this week, along with a few remaining areas of snow in shady spots at the side of the trail. The weather was chilly but sunny and it was good to be there with mud instead of snow. While hiking the trails in February for Winter Blahs 2011, we were sliding and slipping on frozen snow and it was COLD.
All our snow is gone but folks in some parts of New Jersey still seem to be making much use of their snow shovels.
I hiked my middle-aged rear end off near Shelton, Connecticut recently and managed to get a few boxes in between getting just a tad lost and a lot tired. But it was a good day for hauling the aforementioned rear over some huge rocks. And I and my rear were proud of ourselves for doing so with great enthusiasm if little dignity.
I'm hitting the trail near Weston, Connecticut tomorrow and some tasty boxes, followed with a tasty burger from Five Guys. I seem to have become addicted to hitting them for a juicy burger each time I go to Connecticut. I know they're in other places but I saw them there first so have come to think of them as my 'Boxing In Connecticut Burger".
Hummmmm......Burger In A Box......sounds like a good name for a little hidden treasure.

Come to Reading, we have a Five Guys!
Glad to hear you are getting out. Still below normal temps here in WI, but I was down in FL for a week helping my mom, so planted a box there. Hoping for better weather here at home!
Jan..I have fallen in love with Five Guys. lol
I thought I saw on fb that you had headed to Florida. I don't want to say winter here is over. We've had
snow storms in April. Don't want to jinx it.
