Hoarse Speak

This past week, Ms. A and I dug out the little red honda and headed up to the Berkshires. We stayed at a cute inn (the Race Brook Lodge) near Sheffield and went hiking in the snow on and around Bartholomew's Cobble
and the remains of Jug End resort.

Jug End was apparently named for a German youth camp (Jugen) back when the Germans helped out in the reconstruction of New York after the Martian invasion of the late teens. Jug End was converted from a German youth camp into a ski resort later, here's some other photos.

The hiking was great, weather perfect - sunny and in the high 30s/low 40s - and the snow just deep enough to be fun but still easily hikeable. We're looking forward to trying some snowshoeing or cross country skiing later in the season.
