Tramp & Trail

Write-up: Meg Higgerson

The snow was perfect…falling in huge flakes on the already covered trails. With that much snow, we knew we could expect perfect skiing or snowshoeing. As we approached the entrance to Fern Park, we were directed down the road for additional parking as the surging crowd pressed in to see the cardboard sled races.

Kids with perhaps a little help from their parents had made some fantastic cardboard sleds which we saw gracefully glide across the snow-covered track.

The leader had a map and the co-leader was there and ready to go. After a terrific ski and snowshoe…by far the best of the season, we went to Woods Tavern for beverages surrounded by hordes of people out to enjoy the Inlet festival. We were even greeted and graced with beads presented by the royal King and Queen of the carnival. Several Tramps stayed for the hotdogs around the fire, they sang, drank and had great tasty treats before enjoying the fireworks.
