Day 13.352: Exile #2's Sunday Column #328

Exile #2 writes...

Today, Exile #1 and I left the young Exiles to their own devices - probably literally - and popped out for a short but steep hike up a nearby hill. It had been some years since we last visited but it still seemed familiar in places. Exile #1 pointed out that the record of our previous visit mentioned that the trail was difficult to follow due to fallen leaves. This time it was the snow creating some tricky spots. Most had been washed away on our rainy Christmas Day but there was one particularly exciting scramble up slippery rocks where quite a bit had managed to cling on. The trail was relatively busy, so we didn’t linger at the viewpoint but we enjoyed the sights along the way: ice crystals underfoot and a newly fallen tree.
