the start

The start of the pine cobble trail was green and welcoming,as we walked away from the road the noise of cars,trucks and trains became muffled by the foliage. The sound of scurrying chipmunks and falling acorns soon replaced the white noise.The musky scent of the decaying forest floor engulfed our every breath and yes we were breathing! By this I mean the trail that leads to the long trail was steep and caused our bodies to work.
We completed the summit of the pine cobble trail, the final assent was not difficult but at the same token was not easy. At the top the tranquil peace was interrupted by barking dogs. Can't  always get away from that I suppose 
We walked until lunch time and stopped to take a break . Tea and coffee was enjoyed by all. The temperature today was about 20 degrees with over cast skies . It is the picture perfect day to start this hike . The lunch spot was a look off but was over grown so nothing to see. Others hikers passed us as we sat and rested.  Peanut butter bagels never tasted so good.
Hiked a little longer
