We have had such a mild winter but funny that the only 2 winter hikes we did have both been quite "chilly" We thought today was going to be mild, but it turned out to be quite cold. At 7 a.m. it was actually almost 2 degrees, at 10 a.m. when we were at our destination it was hovering around the 0 degree mark, and there was a bit of flash freezing. Jackie drove us out and before and after she dropped us off she had a "black ice" experience. The roads were wet and then they froze very quickly. We are sad that Jackie is not hiking with us but HAPPY that she can drive us and still be part of our hiking day! We started our hike out on the road and had to be very careful as the pavement had a layer of ice over it. We found out later that Jackie had a icy slide downhill on 15 Sideroad after she dropped us off.
Another thing we decided that we needed to note in our blog is our "very odd" experience at the Tim Horton's at Hwy 5 and 6 first thing in the morning. As we were leaving the Tim Horton's, a woman around 60ish came right over to the open side door of our van, looked in at the 6 of us girls and told us a joke........"10 lesbians work in the same office. What do they do all day?....dick all." Very bizarre and very odd that she would come right up and peer into the van at all of us, and tell that joke!! It sure gave us a few laughs throughout the day. LOL

We hiked 10 km and hiked for approximately 4 hours. It was another superb day in the great outdoors with good friends!!
