Packing! The first pile
emmamakescakes:
Packing! Some decisions made, now add Becky's pile!
emmamakescakes:
Packing! All our gear!
emmamakescakes:
Packed!
emmamakescakes:
It began snowing as soon as we hit the trail -- tiny ice pebbles really.
emmamakescakes:
The woods were full of mist and the sun never came out.
emmamakescakes:
Becky contemplates the snow and mist.
emmamakescakes:
We can do this!
emmamakescakes:
Crazy lichen
emmamakescakes:
One of my favorite parts of the trail
emmamakescakes:
One of the dozens of plank bridges
emmamakescakes:
perfect zigzags
emmamakescakes:
Not a bad lil fire! It had rained there for about 36 hours straight before we hit the trail, so I feel good about this!
emmamakescakes:
oh beautiful morning!
emmamakescakes:
tea and coffee and ten thousand layers of clothing
emmamakescakes:
Get that water! (SteriPen batteries failed due to cold -- we managed to get this water zapped but were stoked to find a potable water source shortly after this)
emmamakescakes:
Curly ice! I have never seen this before! AMAZING!
emmamakescakes:
Hazy misty mountains where the trail cuts through Seven Springs

This is the turnpike. Yes, we were hiking at night.
