1-25 - Led a EBC hike starting at Waterfall Glen - 17 hikers - temp at start 23º but warmed to the low 30º - cloudy - I slipped thru the wilderness section just like I knew what I was doing - hiking time 3 1/2 hrs (I was tired) - 10 of us stopped at Portillos for lunch - watched the Presidents State of Union address - it was very well delivered and lasted a little over an hour - it was inspirational but one has to question whether all that was mentioned can be accomplished - it never hurts to listen to an upbeat, positive speech.
