From about 5 days away we saw the forecast
of warm weather for a Saturday. We tracked it all week and it
just kept getting better, so the only question was which hike are we
going to get out and do on January 3rd!
A group of us made the trek down from
Springfield in the morning and after trolling up and down the Boxley
Valley looking for elk, we headed to the Steel Creek campground to
hike a 1½ mile stretch of the Buffalo River Trail. This is
where the trail starts; looking across the river at Roark Bluff.
The highest we saw the temperature on
the car thermometer that day was 73º. That combined with some
afternoon sunshine made for a great day hiking. |
