12-11-2018 - Prink Hill Road

A late departure from work forced me to walk a shorter route than planned today, in order to finish before sunset seriously impeded visibility. Still, today's walk along Prink Hill Road was even shorter than anticipated. The short road connects Cochrane Road with the east-west portion of CR-20, travelling about 3/4 miles around a ridge I can only assume is called Prink Hill. Temperatures were in the mid-20s and the weather began clear, although clouds moved in as I walked. Despite its brevity, the walk afforded fantastic views of the mountains.

View of a farm, near where I parked. The colors in the eastern sky at sunset are often more beautiful than those to the west.

Mount Hayden seen under evening clouds.

Although focused on Windham and Zoar, this provides a good view of this strange little shed, half-embedded in the hillside.

Sunset in the southeastern sky over fields. Acra Point is the peak to the right.

From left to right: Acra Point, Burnt Knob, Windham High Peak, Mount Zoar, and Mount Ginseng. The eastern flank of Mount Hayden is visible at the far right.

Looming over the evening fields, Pisgah stands alone (from this angle at least).

Frozen fields of late autumn.
