Last snowshoe of the season, figured on exploring Florida Mountain from our property.

Tippi and I rambled into Vermont, totally no idea where the route was taking us.

Once into "civilization" again (a plowed dirt road), we stuck to it and then Tilda Hill Road later on for a total of 8.5-miles in 2:49:00 (1:49 snowshoe and another hour on dirt and Tilda Hill Road.

Snowshoed Dwyer Road to Barrus, and to Spruce Corner, and "round".

Total of 8.2-miles in 1:42:05 (50:24/26:58 for 1:17:22; and 24:43 for a grand total of 1:42:05).

Snowshoed with Tippi from Spruce Corner Restaurant on Route 9 in Goshen, to Route 112 in Ashfield at Dwyer Road.  Completed 7.7-Miles in 1:35:00.

Since the conditions were so fabulous yesterday at DAR State Forest, I brought the dog out again to participate in a bit more snowshoeing.  This time we stuck to the snow-covered forest roads, including the climb up to the lookout tower at Moore's Hill.

Completed 6.5-miles in 1:30 today.

Took Tippi out to DAR State Forest in Goshen, and decided we would snowshoe along the snowmobile corridor north towards Ashfield / Plainfield.

Felt great throughout the run. making great time.  The forest throughout was beautiful, and the day a fine cold sunny one.  We completed the 16-miles in 3:05:00.

8th Annual Greylock Glen 3.5-Mile Snowshoe Race
March 4th, 2007 - Adams,  Massachusetts

Race Directing duties with PH at the eighth Greylock Glen Snowshoe Race at the Mount Greylock State Reservation, in the Adams Glen...

This was the race where PH and I were talking with our friend KC at Hawley the day before;  PH and I were undecided on what the course would be for the Greylock event, and KC mentioned that he always liked the original route.  PH said "if KC wants the original route, we'll do the original route".

For the race I managed a 5th out of 23 total finishers.
