With this winter of polar vortexing and jet streamings and
snow falling what is there to do but embrace it? Before winter was upon us I had asked for
snowshoes for Christmas and I received them. They came with trekking poles and
modest directions. After watching a
video twice I sized the snowshoes to my boots and started out.
Behind our house we have a creek that provides a wonderful
path. Someone on skis also uses it along
with deer and other four legged critters.
Quickly I’ve learned that it pays to know the wind direction
and sweating is a part of the experience….even when my face is freezing. The wind has quickly covered paths along with
fresh snow. Many days I’m first to make
new trails.
Sneakers was eager to accompany me the first two times but after that he’s opted not to hike along since he’s always sinking to his belly.
