Hike - White Rock Acres - Fire in the Snow 3/11/2019

I took this hike at White Rock Acres in Pennsylvania on a connector trail to the Appalachian Trail on March 11, 2019. There was still snow on the ground, and due to it melting and recent rains, the ground was wet and damp, making any sticks or branches laying in it damp as well. It was a challenge to get a fire started, but I managed to scavenge mostly dry wood by gathering branches that were tilted up off the ground away from the dampness. The trusty cotton ball and petroleum jelly fire starter helped a lot in getting the wood burning as well.
