Winter River Walk Trail

I woke up today and wanted to get some nature into my system, it's the best drug I've ever tried. Not wanting to go alone I woke my neighbor, @thewildmanlives, from a video game induced coma. We decided to go to a local park and follow the river trail, the same trail I explored a couple months ago.

After almost hitting a couple of stop signs I felt my heart wanting to burst out of my chest and an overwhelming urge to find my center. WildMan sure knows how to work the E-Brakes in the snow and drive a car sideways.

I'm no scientist, but I'm pretty sure that the appearance of snow directly correlates with a low temperature. After laughing at WildMan for eating a face full of snow I found a place to sit. Metal is a conductor and it should conduct heat into my body, boy was I wrong. Sucked the warmth out of my behind faster than a cold toilet seat.

I know I've walked these trails before, but the snow has this effervescent way of bringing a new sense of life to the otherwise lackluster woods. The way the rushing waters cut through the ice, no paper-boat could ever match her grandeur.

Unattractive limbs broken and embedded into the ground, sealed tight with layers of snow and ice. The shades of brown lifeless, showing the extent of winter's wraith. The snow makes it less of an eyesore though.

At least there's berries, you won't need to run to the pharmacy for miralax if you eat a couple of these puppies.

Don't eat the berries, maybe the mushrooms, but not the berries. One sends you on a trip out of this world, and the other to the bathroom and the ER.

Two pairs of pants, two shirts, and a thick wool coat; Why in the FSM's name did I forget my gloves? I think therefore I am, so the only thing I could really do was to try and think the cold away. A hot shower would do better than yoga and a strong will.

It was quite the task getting video of the bubble trapped under the ice. The ice was thin and my neighbor had already put a substantial crack in it. I spread myself out and army crawled out to the bubble. I held my breath for a good twenty seconds so no ears would be subjected to hearing a mouth breathing hippy.
