WOW...IT"S COLD!

Just back from our daily walk with the dogs. Went to McLean Game Refuge, the trail was packed down pretty good...lots of traffic, easy walking, but a good vigorous workout in the cold! The dogs were happy to turn around and head back to the trailhead. We are so lucky to have access to such wonderful trails!
