Carvers Gap 2/22/20

It was a cold day and we expected this hike to feel about the same as our hike to Grayson Highlands a month ago.  But when we parked at Carver's Gap and got out of the car we could tell it was a lot warmer.  I was still skeptical (and coughing up a lung) so I played it safe and kept my layers on just in case.  I ended up shedding them as we went and having to carry them or attempt to stuff them into Coby's already over-stuffed pack.  There was snow on the ground and the combination of snow, slush, and melting ice on parts of the trail was treacherous and slippery, but the sunshine was nice and warm!
