Okay, so I have thawed out and I can type again! HA-HA. It wasn't THAT bad.. I guess. The hounds did a great job despite the wind and the scent blowing around in the top fields along the 'river hills'.
MFH Jimmy took the hounds across the top field towards the Stone Pile and the hounds picked up a line that they managed to work for about an hour as they went back and forth through the woods. Hounds made several big loops from the Stone Pile, to the Log House, then to Shadles side, and back to the bank (TWICE) to put the foxes to ground.
From the Amish side we crossed the road and picked up another fox and the hounds were smok'n towards Pumping Station Road. They worked the bank really well out of the wind, and took the line up the gravel road towards the Power Lines. Personally speaking.. I was cold at this point. MFH Jimmy was not. But thankfully he had a little pity on us girls and decided to call it a day when the hounds hit a miss.
Nice day back in the saddle and out chasing foxes :-)
