I was actually getting pretty warm in the sun. And with microspikes you can run on ice and not slide. It's kind of cool.<br /><br />DanielaGone Hikin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/10297585067127631509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113668519601172330.post-88542655825770629222015-03-03T05:16:11.166-05:002015-03-03T05:16:11.166-05:00Jim,

I don't believe there is any connection to the part north of Rancocas Creek where I was, would have to cross the creek and there does not seem to be a bridge. I had not found any maps showing the connection to that part of the state park on the northern side until I stumbled across that map at the bridge but each side of the creek seems to be a completely separate part.<br /><br />I had left in jeans and changed into hiking pants right before hiking but did not bother to change back into jeans before heading home home. When I walked in she noticed the hiking pants right away but had been home alone since early morning and had to go out so she ran right outside and I changed before letting her back in. I think by the time she came back in she forgot about it. Whew.<br /><br />DanielaGone Hikin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/10297585067127631509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113668519601172330.post-80670468419787309882015-03-02T23:00:49.041-05:002015-03-02T23:00:49.041-05:00Hi Daniela -- I have to agree with Joanne...you ar...Hi Daniela -- I have to agree with Joanne...you are quite the trooper hiking in the snow & ice; although, perhaps snow is a little better than the muddy/mucky/wet trails! :)<br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad to see that Rancocas Nature Center is still there; I thought I read (some years back) that the RNC would be closing down due to funding issues. (Perhaps it did, but the trails are at least still intact.) I was there only once, back in October 2007. I think the trail system has been expanded since then; I remember only the Blue, Red, Orange, and a _very_ short Yellow trail (about 0.1 miles). Not sure I remember seeing a Brown trail, and a connector to Rancocas State Park (which I visited in July 2013.) I only did the Blue and Orange trails at RSP, and I did see a White trail...is this the same one that connects with RNC?<br /><br />As always, your pix are great -- excellent "wintry" scenes...and at least you did get a couple bird shots (despite having to be "loud" while walking!) And even though Shawnee was absent, I hope she didn't "bust" you this time (like one of the other times you snuck out hiking while she was recovering...that look on her face had said it _all_!)<br /><br />Well, as always -- happy hiking!<br /><br />JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113668519601172330.post-77739706307357012592015-02-28T07:56:11.569-05:002015-02-28T07:56:11.569-05:00 great photos from that hike! looks like there, wa... great photos from that hike! looks like there, was some really good light that day!<br /><br />BrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113668519601172330.post-85350865304805849802015-02-26T07:58:10.559-05:002015-02-26T07:58:10.559-05:00Daniela, you are trooper hiking under these condit...Daniela, you are trooper hiking under these conditions and in the frigid weather.
