Was a little concerned about losing balance and not being able to get up (without sitting there and taking the snowshoes off.)
As it turns out I actually felt a little more stable with the snowshoes on.
I guess the wider base helped.
Go figure.
Went out with Barbara.
We went on the Cheshire Rail Trail.
Troy section.
Just a short trip.
First time in a long time for me and the first time ever for Barbara.
Had fun and it was great to get out in the sunshine, so it won't be the last.
Gary . . . it's wonderful to read that you had such a good experience on snowshoes! They do indeed provide added stability. Because of the added stability, I will often wear snowshoes on a hike even when the snow depth isn't really great enough to require snowshoes.

John,
ReplyDeleteIt's a blessing and a curse.
It's going to be great getting out during the winter but now I don't have any excuse :)
