The trail was relatively bare when we began but it soon became evident icers were necessary.

The sun came out as we headed off without our icers again.
The orchards seemed ready for spring.

Ron inspecting the vines. Apparently all is well.

The trail continued to be rugged as it began to rain and we all expressed a desire for this hike to be done. And two kilometers later it was!
