Hiking at Chubb because it's Godawful Cold to be Riding

The beautiful Mrs K and I had work to do this morning, but after we finished we had time to be outdoors and to be active.  It was only 16 degrees.  We decided to go for a hike and chose Chubb Trail.  Right off the bat, we were surprised to see a small stream going gangbusters.  Most everything was frozen SOLID.
The lack of trees and the spotty snow really highlighted the hills and contours of the surrounding area.  We hiked up the Flint Quarry trail because the effort was sure to keep us warmer.
Not quite warmer, but taking the Flint Quarry Trail down to the traditional Chubb route was still fun.  And there were really interesting ice patches.  This would have been a pelvis breaker on a mountain bike.
And this is what you do when you get to the top of the mountain.  Just because.
