I obtained a special dispensation from the Mrs. to go snowshoeing with friend Chris Kilmer (thanks, Carol!). Well, I also had to give up half a day with the daughters. But neither Chris or I had been in the mountains in far too long. In fact, we both had trouble remembering what to wear and bring.
For example, we didn't bring a map or a good route description. My impression was that the entire route was on logging roads, but that's only true for the last part of the route. We reached the end of the road, which appeared to be about 100' vertical below the top of the mountain. But there was no continuing trail to be found. I'll have to head back in the summer and try to find the trail to the lookout.
I also forgot to bring a camera, so the only photo is taken with my crappy cell phone camera. With no tripod, Chris and I are standing together only through the magic of Photoshop.
The weather was nice and the snowshoeing was perfect. There were some few-day-old tracks part of the way, but we got to break trail the last half of the route. We had to turn around at 11:00am so I could get back for afternoon Daddy duty. And Carol got to go to a chick flick by herself on Sunday as compensation.
