Despite warnings of rain eight hikers, Nancy Handly, Susanna Williams, John Brandt, Dave Borszich, John Sinclair, Dan and Jeanne Ralston and Andre Meyer joined hike leader, Barbara Martin on the Chimney Hollow Trail west of Churchville. The day started out cloudy, but unseasonably warm for February. We wound our way past a stream and then started the climb to Crawford Mountain with beautiful views to the west. We were congratulating ourselves for beating the rain and seeing blue skies in the distance. We reached the intersection of Crawford Mountain Trail and took a break for lunch. Our blue skies predictions were blown away 10 minutes into lunch with a sudden fierce wind and pelting sleet. We packed up and hurried down the mountain and after a mile or so ended the hike at a relaxed pace.
