My first long walk of the year with my best friend, my husband. We parked in Salisbury and began the the Rail Trail walking towards the New Hampshire border. We walked by the Elementary School, a very active doggy park, and many walkers. It was a Sunday and a great day to get out and breath the fresh winter air. The trails are all very well marked. We got within a 1/4 mile to the border when we turned back. We followed streams, and small ponds and several good bird habitats. The owner biker was a man on an electric bike who speed by us at too high a speed for he was illegibly should not be on the trail.
Going north there was a strong cool wind on our backs. I look forward to coming back in the spring with my dusted off bike and binoculars.
Today, we have had the first snow storm of the winter. I just finished clearing off my car. Not that I am going anywhere today. Tomorrow, I get another crown started. Off to the dentist I go.
My yack tracks on my shoes work like a dream on the ice and snow.
Next step is trying out new snow shoes...let us hope this white stuff lasts awhile.
