#26 If the Shoe Fits

Finally the cold weather's lightened up a little and made facing the winter much more bearable. Out in my neck of the woods the Retzer Nature Center rents out snowshoes for trekking around the trails. These are the old school kind, the kind made of wood not aluminum, which made it even more appealing to me. So I went snowshoeing for the first time. The hour or so hike was a great workout, the views were awesome and the surroundings were quiet. Definitely a great hobby to take up in the winter. Lesson learned, take a back-up set of batteries for the camera. The batteries died halfway through and I wasn't able to get a full shot of myself out in the elements.
