How lucky are we?



 ....to have two beautiful winter days in a row!  It has been grand....hiking solo yesterday and then today with my daughter!  The roads to where we were originally going to hike were way too icy to drive on in my little car but I'm so glad we ended up where we did!  It was a gorgeous hike....not one other soul around. Well, there was a couple signed in this morning on the trail registry but we saw no signs of anyone.  There is just something about traipsing up the rocky hills/mountains of Pennsylvania with no other sounds than the snow runoff splashing over the rocks, the birds and the occasional crashing of deer through the woods.  My daughter and I just really enjoy each other's company and hiking in the woods just makes us closer.  We talk about everything...today the focus was mainly on our upcoming weeklong hiking trip.  We talk about school, we talk about God, we talk about every little thing that is important to us.
It was truly a grand day.

Beautiful, you and your daughter and the country. I was interested in the trail registry, where is it located, near the trailhead? We don't have anything like that in California but it sounds like a great idea.
