13/12: First Snowshoe Adventure
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
The snow had stopped, the sun came out, at least for a little while and the air was calm. Perfect afternoon to try the snow shoes. We walked the couple of blocks down to the trail by the river and put on our snowshoes.
An easy task for most of us. Rob did a fancy maneuver and ended up resting on the ground.
It was beautiful walking through the cedars watching the mini ice flows travel downstream. We found a branch hanging from a tree. Rob gave a pull and declared it secure.
So secure that he could hang from it. Unfortunately, his glovers were slippery and he slid off.
Shoeing through the snow --- not sure what the correct verb is.
This photo doesn`t do the swamp of bull rushes and snow justice.
We came across some ATV tracks and decided to follow them to see where they went. The tracks brought us close to our neighbourhood, so we decided to continue through the ravine to Dave and Joan`s house. We knew they wouldn`t mind us cutting through their yard. We knocked on the door to let them know who made the weird tracks in their yard and was invited in for a drink and a visit. What a nice way to end the adventure.
