Running Chick

Our cold spell finally passed on Sunday and it was a beautiful, sunny, blue-skied, 23 degree day.  The perfect day for another tromp through the woods on my snowshoes.

My tracks from last week are barely noticeable after all the snow we received in the past few days.  There were lots of other tracks around from furry critters and critters on skis.  No snowmobile tracks though, so I ended up breaking trail all the way.

I bought some gaiters, but they were too small to even fit around my calves.  I guess I must have man-calves.  Gotta get me some gaiters.  I also got a new camera, so I was messing around with the macro function, thanks to the tiny pine cones I found.

 I tried to find the cemetery and ended up taking two wrong trails before finally giving up and heading back.  The good news is that I think I did end up finding the trail to the cemetery, so next weekend I'll take another stab at getting there.  In all, I tromped around for 3.25 miles and got to spend two hours outside on a really nice day.
