New Years Day 2017

Nancy and I both retired at the end of 2016, and we celebrated New Years Day 2017 with brunch at home with family and friends followed by an optional snowshoe hike from the Plot Road to Roundtop Shelter on the Long Trail in Johnson.

The photo above is a little before sunset on the way out. Below are photos of the crew of seven hardy hikers at the shelter.

It was a nice day, temps in the upper 20s (F), windy in places, mostly cloudy. There was about a foot of snow in the woods. If we look happy, it might have been because of the hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps!
