Ok, this may not be the greatest week to begin your challenge to hike 52 weekends in a row. It’s cold outside. But we went anyway and it was beautiful. The first hike of 2014 was the “Nature Trail” at North Park. That’s seriously the name of the trail. It really captures the essence of the whole nature and trail thing all in one catchy name. Much like calling a restaurant, “The Place You Eat Restaurant.” The “Nature Trail” is gorgeous in the snow. The stream was frozen and so was my backside.

Don’t be a baby. Put on some boots and at least hike out to the mailbox together…
