Re: 2/13 Rusty AMPS 101, +9 113, PMPS 135
Hi Everyone again,
Rusty decided not to surf green today, it appears! Perhaps he missed his play time (Edward wasn't feeling well and didn't play with him today). Perhaps he missed me. Perhaps Edward gave him too much FF T&G at lunchtime (he says he only gave a teaspoon). Perhaps it was a fur shot this morning (didn't seem so). Perhaps he's a cat. Yep, that's it! Anyway we had a nice late afternoon and a good dinner and good shot. Maybe he'll get to the lagoon tomorrow.
My snowshoe hike was beautiful. There were 5 of us women: 3 on skis and 2 of us on snowshoes. We began at a large pond that is the start of the "6 Carries" canoe trip and walked across it on the ice in howling wind (in our faces) to the first carry (portage). We walked the carry through the woods, about 1/2 mile (it was nice not to be carrying a canoe!), to the next pond. Then out on the ice again about a mile to a lean-to on the shore, where we had lunch and then continued the trip on ski trails through the woods and eventually back to the start. 7 miles in all. The snow was the best it has been all winter. I wish I had done it on skis, but my friend has an achilles injury and is not allowed to ski yet, so we have been snowshoeing.
Here are some pics. Everyone have a good evening,
