Hike leader Betsy and Tammy, Tom, and Tim (the three T’s) ventured out to Savage Gulf State Park after a week of snow, then ice, then more ice, having determined that the roads on the plateau had more or less recovered from the wintry weather. The weather was good, somewhat on the cold side but manageable. What was not manageable, however, was the trail to Collins Gulf once it became steep. Ice was plentiful and slick! This was at least partly due to hikers who had gone down the trail earlier in the week and turned the snow into ice. Fortunately Tammy was familiar with the relatively flat Savage loop Trail at the nearby east entrance to the park, so we headed there and had a fine time! We even checked out Savage Falls without much trouble. We racked up 5 to 6 miles and felt virtuous. Another glorious day in the great outdoors!
