2nd Spruce Hill Climb Snowshoe Race
December 7th, 1997 - Florida/Savoy, Massachusetts

A Spruce Hill Snowshoe Adventure was held in Savoy Mountain State Forest.  We managed to have twelve-finishers on this fine, snowy day!  I completed my 8-mile route in 2:00:27.

Took a run through on snowshoes with Dusty on the South Pond Shuffle Course, which left North Pond, circled Tyler Swamp and South Pond before finding the way back to North Pond.  All this in Savoy Mountain State Forest, on the Florida and Savoy border.

I am hoping to pull off an event here during January or February, 1998!  Today, we managed the fairly easy 4.0-miles in 58:54.

The Bandit and I had set out for Savoy Mountain State Forest, but a pretty rough snowstorm stopped us from making the journey up Route 2 past the Mohawk State Forest in Charlemont.

We explored Mohawk over 4.0-miles of snowshoeing, including an attempt at climbing the steep Indian Path Trail to the saddle between Clark and Todd Mountains.  We made it about a third of the way up before the footing became too treacherous.  Finished with 1:17:38 on our legs.

7.0-miles of snowshoeing at Dubuque State Forest, from the Hawley Kiln.  Total time out 1:21:32.
