Jerry S.: Story time for you. Sunday’s outing was a 7-mile snowshoe to a lean-to at T Lake. I had done this trek once before years ago with my daughter with the allure of seeing her first lean-to. I was lucky to get back. Had she been older I probably would’ve been tied to a tree and left for the bears! I had remembered the trail to be flat; this was not the case at all. Many ups and downs, some quite sizeable. 18 brave tramps started the trek, 11 made it to the lean-to. Some had been out the day before and not fully recovered, others just had applied good sense and turned back. No shortage of snow there, 4′ + of the white devil dust on the ground. Questionable snow bridges across streams added to the adventure. It was a bright sunny day, nice to visit with each other as we went along. A little tomfoolery included as well, a few got ambushed by snowballs on the trail as well. Per tradition, some of us stopped for a well deserved cold beverage at the Ohio tavern. 7 miles may sound like a long distance to walk for a picnic lunch but some in the group are heading to Glacier National Park this Fall in which a 15-mile trek along the High line trail will make this just a stroll thru the woods. Building those trail legs. Thanks to Jim for sharing some photos and to Carolyn and Sir Tom for getting us there and back.

Jimi Waz: Another high attrition snowshoe. Seven miles on a real tough trail. Plenty of snow in the Adirondacks. Congrats to all who survived it…Thanks to Carolyn and Tom for a grueling snowshoe.
