Hadley Mtn

This past weekend Matt and I climbed and camped on Hadley Mountain.
We started the hike shortly before noon on Saturday. Hiked part way up the mountain and started looking for a somewhat flat spot to set up camp which proved to be a bit of a challenge and took a bit of a bushwhack to accomplish. After setting up camp we headed to the summit for some outstanding views. We had planned on bushwhacking over to Rountop Mtn. as well but with the shorter days we decided to just head back to camp. We hung out, made dinner and relaxed by the campfire until we "finally" turned in at around 8:30pm. Awoke at daylight and hiked out to return to a nice waffle breakfast at home.
Daytime high on Saturday was probably in the mid 30s with a nice cold breeze at the top. At night it was probably in the teens with a very clear sky.

Porch update

When we bought the house we knew that the front porch needed to be replaced and this fall we had the work done. I have to dig around for the "before" picture but here is what it looks like now. All that is left is to put some lattice work underneath, move the front bushes around a little and put then plant some tulip bulbs in the hopes that they all come up in the spring. As you can see Natalie really got into the painting as well and was a big help.
