Hiking

It was a beautiful day and I had the afternoon all to myself so I headed up to our new house and decided to go exploring. I did my best to follow the creek downstream, but it was slow growing. Unfortunately, what used to be fields have become overgrown with brush, must of which is thorny. Machete in hand, I hacked my way along a few game trails until I finally crossed over the stream and hiked about halfway up the mountain. At the point, I turned back towards the house and fought my way back to and around the far side of the pond before walking up the hill back to the house.

All told, I hiked for just shy of an hour and covered a little less than a mile.
