Our 'Big Chill' is over and next week looks like 'Let It Snow'. Decided to take advantage of a nice morning and trek the long trail through the swamp. Important not to overdress so I went w/ a long-sleeved sweatshirt, jeans, hiking boots, down vest, cap and mittens. However, about twenty minutes out I was overheating. Stopped at the top of a hill, stuffed my cap in the camera case, and unbuttoned my vest. I hoped there was enough snow to make a base over the old icy truck trail. Guess not enough 'cause I fell on the way down the hill breaking my walking stick. Fortunately my walking stick is just an actual stick and there are lots to pick from along the way. Indy and I were still feeling pretty good by the time we made home. However, trying to get back up after we had rested proved to be problematic. Indy was limping on a front foot and my right foot felt like it was sprained. Small price for a mid-winter swamp walk.
