I hoped for snow this weekend at the Cabin I didn't get any, but it was cold, but relaxing for the most part.
The reason I hoped for snow as I saw plenty on Bays Mountain on the drive-up 11W (and still there Sunday). So I thought there should be some at the Cabin. I got even more excited that I would get to do some snow hiking. But the closer to Fort Blackmore I got the more I realized it didn't snow over this way. My concerns were confirmed when I started down towards the Clinch River and there was no snow on High Knob and zero at the Cabin.
For our first outing on Friday we did the loop over Wood Booger Ridge. On Saturday, we did an exploratory hike up to the knobs I call the Three Sisters. Last weekend I mentioned that I explored an old logging road to see if I could get to a saddle between the first two knobs. Well, Bax and I went up and it is an easier route. So, we ended up summiting all Three Sisters.
Hiking was all I did as my main reason to go over was to collect my Maple sap, so I can cook this week. Boy, the tree closest to the big Spring tank produced a bunch. All my other trees not so much.
I also did more road work which was tough on the back and elbow. But, I did have Bax to supervised while Lester stayed at the Cabin.
He is too cute!
