10 November 2018 Saturday
Awoke in the wee hours of dawn waiting for sunrise another day. I was all warm and snug in the comfort of my sleeping bag anticipating the light of a new day. Pick up today is 1pm so i can just enjoy my last few hours before a 6 mile hike.
As first light appeared I started to heat water for a cup of coffee. I enjoyed that from the warmth of my bed. I could see the suns rays striking gently against the autumn leaves with the sound of birds chirping and the spring splashing in front of the shelter. This certainty made getting water for coffee and the days hike.
As i enjoyed my cup of Joe I couldn't believe my eyes. It couldn't be, could it? Tiny white flakes falling majestically from the sky. Flurries continued to fly as I lay there warm and snug, sipping coffee and eating breakfast. Breakfast today and everyday on the trail was a homemade oatmeal, nut, raisin bar. This was the perfect start to each morning. Usually I ate while hiking, but today I enjoyed breakfast in bed at this 5 start resort.
I packed up my gear for the last day while flurries danced in the wind. One final thing to do after packing. Put my dry clothes in the top of my pack and put on the cold wet clothes without haste. It only takes a few minutes. To get warm. Since my gloves were soaked I wore socks to keep my hands warm.
I headed of to the beaver dam as the cold wind stung my face. It was only about a mile and I was hiking by the dam. Quite an impressive sight. To be standing right next to this incredible structure. I was in awe as I stood in the water taking pictures of this impressive structure.
