Day 116

Today I completed three individual hikes and was more than just a little excited that there was almost no snow! The trails that I hiked are all lower elevation and located in and around the Jefferson/Berlin area. I’ve done all three of these trails before, back in 2020, and after spending the better part of six months hiking in snow, I was so excited to be able to hike without the added weight on my feet or back. Subsequently, I flew through the hikes, completing all three by twelve-thirty, even with the added drives between trailheads and a half hour break before the final hike. I’m really excited to see how fast I can complete some of the hikes this summer. Apparently all that winter hiking has given me strength I never knew I had.
