Geocaching along Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway

My #2 son, Christopher, and I hiked two sections of the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway this afternoon. We were bundled in several layers of clothing. We found four geocaches and did not find three geocaches--one was flooded and two were likely missing. The tall grasses and blackberry bushes had been mowed to stubble. The trees and shrubs were barren of leaves. Patches of the wetlands had thin layers of shattered ice. We saw a heron, many ducks--both male and female and a little brown mouse. The far hills were covered in snow under a cloudy grey sky. As we walked back to the car, the cold east wind began to blow and the snow fell increasingly thicker.
