Mt. Monadnock...maybe next year

My goal was to be at the top of Monadnock this fall.

I didn't make it.
Not for lack of planning but something always came up.
Then when I finally got a free weekend, we got this:



It looks like canoeing was out of the question too.
Walking on regular ground is hard enough for us Ataxians, let alone snow covered mountain trails.
So Monadnock is posponed until the spring.
I'm not sure if I'm going to try snowshoes this winter.
If I do, I'll post how that goes.
If not, I found a site that has a bunch of 'easy' trails that I might spend the winter researching and planning for next hiking season.

If I'm going to attempt snowshoeing, this is the site for places to try.

Enjoy the winter and remember even if we can't handle walking in the snow, there's always somewhere to go.
Don't sit on your a$$ all winter.
It will make getting back up in the spring that much harder.
