For the first time, Cable, WI fell short in the snow department.
On the other hand, its probably the only place we could have played as
much as we did. The snowshoers went out on Saturday to our usual
wonderful area and found packed-down trails instead of the many feet of
power we're used to. The good news is that several people were new
to the area and thought it was great. The skiers reported that
the trails were a bit icy but ski-able. Most did about 7k, with three
going 11k. In addition, the cocktail parties and dinner were a great
success. On Sunday most people started home, with some stopping on
the way to hike. The rest of us went snowshoeing again. This
time, we found virgin snow on the Lakewoods' Golf Course. Not the
most ideal setting, but a lot more fun than a packed-down trail.
We had four new or newish members: Maureen Carey, Cathleen Higgins,
Margaret Craig and Mina Shah. We also had several other first-timers
to the Hayward trip. Welcome everyone. Please come again.
Conditions are usually much, much better.
