December 30, 2012 Cape Lookout

Wow the end of another year and what better way to finish than with a hike? We got the weather to cooperate with our schedule and managed to squeeze in a 5 miler. Short but the fresh air and stretch was wonderful. It also gave us a chance to experiment with the new phone. Based on my experience so far...our blogs are going to be very short! I'm also messing with photos from the phone. I've already discovered it's not as easy as it is portrayed. Grrrr. :-)

Cape Lookout

Look at the cones on this little branch. It's no wonder they break in the wind.

We love hiking (not sure about smart phones!)
