The sign. Letters are straight, but a slight bow makes them look off center.
Yes, it was cold out. Yes, it was windy out. yes, I had a great hike!
I took a notion today to go for a hike despite the wintry weather. I needed to check an old sign at the Cherry Run Gun, Rod and Reel Club. I painted a new sign for the organization and need to see how the old was erected and my needs to erect the new sign.
Cherry Run
That completed, I began a walk along Cherry Run located in Plumcreek Township. That is in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania for my readers from other states.
The creek was beautiful with vibrant greens and blue hues. Ice was everywhere varying in thickness and types. However, the walk in the snow was almost like work! The seven or eight inches of snow had formed a slight crust. I placed my foot down and the snow felt as if it would support my weight some. This was a false sensation for as soon as I lifted my second foot my weight would force foot number one to sink through the crust. This type of walking can be a little tiring. 
Eventually, I came upon a township road and went up a hill to the top. I then walked across fields and wood lands. the circle I made was about four miles in length. 
All told I saw eighteen deer. (Some of this count was while traveling back home.) I saw a gray squirrel, a great-horned owl and lots of small birds. I found gobbler tracks, but I never saw the birds.
