Assateague Backpacking in January
I got up Saturday knowing I really didn't want to hang around the house for the weekend. Jenny wanted to work on
her skin boat project, so I checked the weather and loaded up the backpack and headed for Assateague.
Backpacked into one of the beach sites, and spent the night under the stars. Saw loons, and a surf scoter on the
way in. And the obligatory ponies and sitka. It was a great sunset. Used the bivy bag, winter sleeping bag,
and the tarp from the Hennessy. Lots of condensation when the fog rolled in, both inside the bag and out, and the underside
of the fly, which then froze as the temps dropped to 27.
A nice quick night in the woods to start 2006!

South Carolina Mountains and Foothills
I just got back from a couple of days of hiking in the South Carolina foothills and mountains around Clemson. Life
isn't too bad if on the last day of the year I'm hiking in a t shirt in beautiful mountain scenery on the Foothills trail
