I had a cold (20f -6c) yet fun hike over snow with friends on Appalachian Trail for 15 mile with 3000 feet elevation gain (manassas gap - whiskey hollows) on Saturday. I was well prepared with gaiters to keep my socks dry, spikes to walk on snow/ice, sunglasses to avoid snow blind, and an alpaca wool hat to cover my ears (got for the Inca trail hike in 2011 in Peru). However, I accidentally smashed my head against a 6” diameter tree trunk and it really hurt (May knock down my IQ 10 points!!!). After the hike, four of us went to a close by winery for wine tasting around an outdoor fire pit. A great day except my head injury. I ran 5 miles on Sunday to meet my 20 hike/run mile weekend goal.
