Lunch/Brunch – Prepared by Michael Murphy, salad and shepherd’s pie

It was a cold 26 degrees when we started out. The wind was coming from the Southwest. Barometric pressure was falling. The temperature only warmed up to 39 while we were hunting.

From the parking area we back up the driveway and then headed south into the woods. We did a loop of those woods and then headed North along the creek. We made a big loop around and then headed south. It was basically a blank day although hounds worked hard. The ride was beautiful, we had some interesting creek crossings with the frozen edges.

We went back to the clubhouse to warm up and enjoy the brunch Michael had prepared.
