Black Creek Marsh
It’s wonderful that it’s frozen enough to walk on it. Been years since it’s been that hard frozen from the cold. Of course I forgot the road back here – ended up on North Greatview Road and not Kling Terrace. I’ve been walking the marsh on the north side of the rail bridge but not under it due to the melt water from the bridge and faster currents making the ice thinner.
The rail trail was a bit rough riding with the pock marked snow and ice but it was passable. Heading to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center next then I’ll probably head home and read tonight. Get to bed early and see how much snow there is come the morning and move forward. Sunday dinner with the folks and then I’ll probably go to Walmart or I could wait until later in the week as my pantry is okay though I do need more fresh and frozen fruits.
Truth is that I’m not thrilled about the upcoming snow ☃️
A certain amount of snow riding on the trail is fun but it’s going to be deep and my skis snapped several years back and I tossed them in the fire and was surprised how much fiber glass was in them. So it’s going to be road riding with all those harsh deicers, walking or staying home.
Plus I’m well aware of the fact that if we get a bunch of snow it could put my President’s Day Weekend trip at risk that I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time especially if we get another snow storm and a lot of cold next weekend. And I really need a few nights in the wilderness so I can sit by the fire, smoke some grass and burn up the papers. It’s tough being at home all the time in my moldly, cold apartment. Plus if the trash cans are covered with snow, and my parents yard deep in snow it will be a pain when it comes down to emptying out that five gallons bucket full of apple core, orange peels and other compost.
