North and South Kinsman



I was really grumbling when my wife kept asking me to go hiking with her and friends in December for an overnight.  inside my head I was thinking " December?  Are you crazy it is cold out there and there is never any good snow!" .  In the end I decided it would be fine and I could survive a single night outside in order to satisfy the camping bug for a while.

At first we thought that people would want to come but it turns out that almost everyone does the same grumbling as I do and talks themselves out of it.  We found that it is just the hardcore people that wind up coming.  After inviting 12 people we ended up with us and one other.   It was cold and the best part was the lean to and the winter wonderland on Saturday into Sunday.   On Saturday morning I snapped some excellent pictures of this Pine Marten that was pretty tame due to the time of year and its level of hungriness.  He was skulking around the lean to looking for scraps.  All in all I would say that it was a great time out and it definitely kept me from doing my long delayed house projects.
