Hiking the 107 Cross Over Trail at Cave Run

Today was a great day for a walk in the woods!  

It's the end of December and the temperature was around 50 degrees.  The wind was gusting pretty strong at times and it was a bit overcast most of the day.  The trees were bending in the wind and howling.  

We first started out on the Sheltowee Trace at Cave Run Lake and found it to be very muddy from horse traffic.  It was too hard to walk in so we decided to walk a bit on the 107 Cross Over Trail.  It follows forest road 1225 most of the way and is easy walking.  I took my backpack so I could try out some new gear.  Alaura wanted to set up her tent and have some hot chocolate so off we went.
