Snow - I detest thee!

So I did about a quarter mile of this today in Bush Hill State Forest in the happening burg of Lyndon:



While a quarter mile is nothing, this was still a bit of a hike!  The snow in some spots was over a foot deep, pretty icy and crunchy which slowed the going...and for whatever reason my boots (my winter ones not my turd-kickers), pulled my socks down to the ball of my foot.  It was a really odd sensation...haha.  I think my boots violated me!  EEP!  :-}

All in all it was a fruitful and enjoyable venture.  I found an ammobox, and got to spend some time in a remote section of State Forest full of hardwoods.  Also, after this I headed over to E-ville to enjoy another cache, and have lunch with Adam.  It was catered (as in I picked him up some BK and sat with him in the Valley parking lot while he ate...haha).  It was Mardi Gras at Holiday Valley, so there were tons of people - many dressed up rather colorfully wearing beads and other unique outfits.  All in all it was a good day, even though I didn't spend a ton of it hiking.  Tomorrow I plan on heading north to fool around in the mostly snowless woods of West Seneca/Cheektovegas!
