Outdoors In The Wintertime

Tweet

It's winter and in many parts of the world, particularly the States, it is cold and snowy. But some people refuse to allow wintry weather to confine them to staying indoors. Anybody here have outdoors activities they like to do regardless of the weather? I like to hike. I frequently bushwhack and the best time of the year is winter when all the foliage is dead and snakes and those pesky bugs are gone, BUT not necessarily the bears. I ran into bear tracks the other day while on a trek in Shenandoah NP. Followed his trail for awhile, but never saw him. (FYI, black bears in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia do not hibernate, even though they become less active.)
