We were lucky to have a beautiful blue sky day for the last hike of the year. It was cold in the dark forest but once in the open it felt almost like spring. We enjoyed a long lunch break,by winter standards, on top of the little hill with modest views to the west. Afterwards we went down to the river not to pray but to enjoy a pleasant walk in the warm afternoon. Back to the brand new parking lot at 3:10 for a 5 hours hike including lunch and a few breaks.
