Snowshoeing_January 2016

So...I/we've been looking for some outdoor activities to do during the winter to help fight the fatness.  We tried cross country skiing last month and I wasn't that impressed.  Granted, I only went once and it was hard to transition from downhill skis to cross country skis, so it might be better if I gave it another chance.  Anywho, I got snowshoes for Christmas.  We had a pretty good trek up the Jardine Juniper trail in December.  However, in January we ventured up the Sink Hollow trail and that was a lot of fun.  We followed along side a cross country ski trail that looped around a pretty big area.  It was so peaceful!  Though people and snowmobiles were not that far away, I had the feeling of being totally alone out here.  It was a great experience.

Other updates:
  • Looking to go camping next weekend-like for reals- in the snow...we'll see how this goes.  
  • I'm also hoping to participate in a half marathon in October.  Again, we'll see how that goes or rather how the prep for that goes.  
  • Going to Boston/New England area in April.  Yay!

GR next to the cross country trail.

Perfect sledding hill...if only I would have brought my sled.
