Okay, it's not hiking, but I'll post it here anyway!
I went canoeing with a friend of mine at Presque Isle State Park (Pennsylvania) last weekend. We usually get out in his canoe a few times a year, but this may be the first time we've done it in December. (Usually the water is frozen by now!) Air temperature was about 45F and water temp is about 42F. We were out for about 4 hours and I stayed barefoot the whole time, as usual. My friend was in heavy socks and waterproof boots.
What a great way to spend a December afternoon!
Here's a few photos:
