Snowshoeing
Last Saturday, Kent and I went up to Molly Stark State Park in Vermont for a day of snowshoeing. We had a blast and it was the first time that either of us tried snowshoeing. But I have to admit that I enjoyed it (much more than cross country skiing).
We thought this would be a level walk because we didn’t realize that the trail we were on lead to the summit where the fire tower is. Honestly, we tired before reaching the summit and almost turned around and came back. It was quite steep. However, every time we stopped, someone had put a little message into the snow with twigs. The first one said, “Getting Close!”. So, we kept going.
Then, we thought about turning back a second time, and came across a sign in the snow that read, “You are almost there!”. We kept going. A short while later, we say a park sign that had this on it...
You can see the trail we took on the top. A short 575 feet more, and we were on the summit. It was a good day! This is the beginning of our trip.
