BRIEFLY DESCRIBE SPECIFIC TRAILS HIKED AND TRAIL CONDITIONS ENCOUNTERED:
Hiked around Great Cedar Swamp. We planned to not stop for lunch due to concern for people getting cold when not walking. Instead we let the group know to graze snacks as we hiked the trail. This worked well, helped folks stay warm and a couple of people mentioned that they would prefer this approach even when not as cold.
