Storytime for you…Sunday’s adventure took us to a local Tramp favorite, Jackson Hill in Boonville. Having had a sparse amount of snow most of the winter we were happy for Saturday’s snowfall for this outing. This meant of course the trails were not groomed.

We got to the trailhead by 10:45 and off we went. With most on skis and a few on snowshoes, we made a quick dash across the open field to the woods where the wind would torment us no more.

As we got there the groomer came thru and amongst cheers from us paved some of the trail for the day! We generally stay together as a group but that was not to be the case. Equipment issues had some of us waiting to help with that, others forged onward and those on snowshoes, who are naturally slower, had us scattered on the hill. It was like herding kittens, which way did they go?

On the plus side, we opened up many of the trails for other adventurers and a good time was had by all. A few hours out there and it was off to Kratzy’s for a cold beverage and a bite to eat, sharing stories from the trail. Check out those old Ski Doo’s.

We shared some Dove dark chocolate on the trail which have messages on the wrapper. I live by the message mine had, “Always make your past self jealous!” Making each day better than the one before, the adventures continue to outdo the ones from before. This year has already had a trip I never dreamed possible. Don’t blink when those opportunities present themselves, mash that gas! Hope you all had a great weekend, see you on the trail.
