Back with my brother after a couple weeks (We couldn’t hike last week because our sister was using us for some free labor), we got to have our first snow-filled trip of the season! Woods Creek was largely a ridge, which was also challenging in its own way. Add snow and the fallen fall leaves and you get a bit of a slippery mess. We were sure on our feet though, and had a fun conversation about how the experience reminded my brother of one of his favorite video games, The Witcher.

We decided along the way that we were trekking out to a “boss battle” and that was kind of fun to play around with as we enjoyed our day together. Coming home to cook some homemade chicken and dumplings and spaghetti and meatballs for the week just capped it as a good first “wintry” day in the books this year.
