snowshoe

I am going to read a bit before bed because the temps are supposed to go up to 20 tomorrow. I have a lot of pre-Christmas errands to run, but am hoping to sneak in a practice.

Everything is better with book. It is called, “A Get Out & Do It! Guide.” Mebbe I can get out & do it without falling this time. :D

I then practiced a bit in Mom’s front yard to make sure I had everything adjusted. Chunk & Mom watched from the bay window. As soon as I was sure that I had things adjusted, we loaded Chunk up into his sled. A trip to the park & I made it half way around before falling.

I naturally chose the path abutting Main Street that I fell. I became the drive home entertainment. It didn’t really bother me – but I figured it was time to stop before I hurt myself. It wasn’t bad for a first time. I had fun! Chunk thought I was HILARIOUS!

I am hiking around the park dragging a sled full of baby. I think it is is time to up the level and learn how to snowshoe. I don’t anticipate hikes in the woods, just mucking around in the yard and park.

I ordered a book on basic snowshoeing last night & intend to buy a set of shoes & collapsible poles in the next couple days. This is purely recreational & just trying something new. My bad knee has always kept me from trying downhill skiing and snowboarding. I played around with my kids cross country skis but never outfitted myself. The snowshoes look the most appealing at this time. Small, easy and low cost investment.

There’s no snow…. so will have to get moved to next season.

I got out several times this year, always a workout, but well worth it. I talked my parents into getting each other snowshoes for Christmass and they have been out too.

The mountain was so beautiful! I got to see a lot more of it than when I was skiing on that mountain. More snowball fights too. =)

Plus I got much more of a work out.

Definatly, definatly, definatly going to go snowshoeing again.

Definitely hooked.

well, my first real snowshoe trip was through 3-4ft of fresh snow. talk about a workout, i was late to work because i thought that i was just going to float over the whole thing. ha ha, anyway, had a great time and i’m planning on doing it more often. hit me up if anybody wants to snowshoe around the north tahoe region

He’s a bear, and 30 years older than me. I got to get up there and battle through the mountains with him. Of course, this will require cold weather gear, which I don’t at present have…(LA having made me soft)...

Its 16 deg, but it not snowing yet. I didn’t get out last year. If I don’t get the snow around home this year, I need to head to the north until I find it!
