I was invited to go hiking with the "boys" on their annual Thanksgiving Day hike this year. Trailmaster Brian decided to check out the Three Sisters (a group of three mountains, I think all less than 2,000 ft---on the old Hickory Hill ski area property). We followed a brook and a snow mobile trail and then we had to bushwhack to the summit. Bushwhacking is not my favorite thing to do on a hike, but this wasn't too bad. In reality, it was pretty easy since all I had to do was follow Chad's big feet in the snow :). We met up with a hunter near the summit and he confirmed that we were on Bald Mountain. The actual summit was covered in trees so we went down a little on the other side to the ledges. I stayed in the tree line because it was getting windy and I was getting cold from not moving. After a few minutes, we moved to a different spot that Paul found. We could see the road going up to camp and the golf course. Anyhoo, the sun came out so we were able to get some nice pics. I'm not sure how far we hiked--maybe a hair under 4 miles round trip. We made good time coming down---I'm not sure about their feet, but mine stayed warm and dry. An all-around good hike. Two thumbs up! Of course, the alternative title for this post could have been "You break trail and I'll break wind".
