52 in the year of 52 --- #hike7 --- Westmoreland Sanctuary

What a day what a hike! 

I loved hiking Westmoreland Sanctuary! Sure it was hailing, sleeting, snowing and even raining at times but well worth the views, peace and quiet and wild animal encounters. 

I had a couple of hours of pure silence to think and talk to myself. 😬
The past few weeks I have been beside myself watching and listening to all the intolerance, misinformation, hypocrisy and deceiving agendas in our country. Maybe this is what the media and politicians want to happen?!? Make our heads spin with misinformation so we are paranoid and distrustful? 
Well I am not having it!
As I journeyed through this beautiful sanctuary breathing in fresh air, watching birds and deer scamper about I reconfirmed my resolve to keep the faith that naturalists, outdoorsmen, and the likes will find what we agree on and love and start from there and that the public does more research before regurgitating rhetoric from the media, and extremists (from both sides).
Ps- and don't start a political conversation with me regarding what we the people are "owed" by the government...because I am armed with research facts and numbers now regarding "hot" topics...

Westmoreland Sanctuary
5.64 miles
Great trail markings
Ups and downs
Used poles
Hiked the outside perimeter trails plus cole's kettle 

Hair frozen, maybe could have used goggles....
Great singage!
Snow ankle deep in some spots, mid calf deep in others...
Lots of seemingly new bridges ...
Need a blow out after this hike...
