waning winter
we got what could be our last significant snow fall on this past friday evening. on both saturday and sunday afternoons i busted out my snowshoes and headed out to the retzer nature center. the majority of my effort on saturday was spent tamping down a path through the fresh snow, which is no small task. the eastern portion of my route kept getting drifted over in the ten to twelve minutes that i was out on other portions of trail. by the time i returned sunday afternoon, the winds had diminished and other folks had compacted the snow down even further. regardless, i took advantage of this last bit of winter and mustered a total of over three and a half hours of snowshoeing for the weekend. now i’m ready for spring.
