Today we were crazy! Like always. We decided to throw caution to the wind and go out for hike even though rain and snow was in the forecast. On our way out we saw the volunteers laying wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery.
We decided to go to Turkey Run park and when we got their the park was closed! WTF? We then headed out to Scott’s Run and hiked there. We had the place to ourselves. There was only one other car in the lot (usually we need to go to the second lot just to park). We did our hike and was pleased to see all the snow that was still there on the ground. It totally looked like a different place. It was actually somewhat confusing. I was uncertain which way to turn to make a loop for us and we ended up referencing the GPS multiple times. We eventually made it back to the truck and were worried with what we saw. A state trooper sitting in his car facing my truck. There was also 2 other vehicles in the lot. As we approached the trooper pulled off. I don’t know if he was running the licence plates of the vehicles in the parking lot looking for anything in particular, or if that was his favorite lunch spot to stop. We had a good time and really liked how different the park is with less green and blankets of white.
