Winter Outings!



This weekend Joe and I decided to get out and try something different: We rented snow shoes and headed out into the wilderness for a day of adventure and loss of direction.

We drove over to the Superior Hiking Trail in Superior, and lead ourselves into the woods, without GPS!! It was great! Something we haven't done before, yet had a wonderful time! Granted, we didn't spend too much time out in the woods, it was still quite a workout! We ventured off the beaten path and traveled through pine trees and oaks, finding many places where deer had bedded down and animal paths all over the place. Soon we lead ourselves back to the road, crossing over to the ski trails. It was different, challenging and FUN! Once on the ski trail, we decided to get off there and back into the fresh crisp snow. We both enjoyed making our own paths instead of staying on the groomed areas! Of course, Joe and I went our different directions, yet we always ended up together at the end. A great adventure we are planning on tackling again! Something new for our winter outings! Skiing, tubing and now snow shoeing! I'm sure we can find other options, hopefully it won't stop here!
