Ice Age Trail: Paradise Dr. Connector --> Cedar Lake Segment --> Slinger Segment --> Pike Lake Segment)

What a morning of jogging and hiking and walking.  I ran the entire connector from Paradise Dr. to CTH NN (5.5 miles, very hilly with areas of little to no shoulder).  Susan was busy with the kids at a park so I continued on completing both the Cedar Lake segment and strolling through the town of Slinger and its segment.  People were both skiing and mtn. biking at Little Switzerland.  I finished off by doing the first part of the Pike Lake Segment with Clarissa and Silas .  It was so nice having Susan drive so I didn't have to go back by bike.

Ice Age Trail: Southern Kewaskum Segment & West Bend Segment

A good long hike today. Saw a deer and a bunch of squirrels and ducks and Culver's literally right next to the trail.  A part of the West Bend Segment (Silver Creek) is easily the most beautiful part of the IAT that I have experienced thus far!  A lot of hardwoods I this part.  It would be nice to go through here when the leafs are on the trees.  This El NiƱo warm weather stuff in December is very nice!



Ice Age Trail Connector (Ridge Rd. --> Wildwood Rd.)

Had to do this connector to get back to the trail.  Saw a rabbit hopping by and a nasty deer carcass in a ditch.  Now back to the trail (Kewaskum segment)
