[at-l] Weekend Wanderings

[ackenglass@hotmail.com (Alexis Lee Acken)]

Well, this winter, it's been terrible.  Virtually no snow.  I've only been
able to get out twice and generally stuck to the dirt roads through the
Wendell State Forest.  There's some wonderful scenery and some fun hills.
Not so fun for skiing up though.  Did a little skiing off the beaten trail
and did run into some underbrush at the bottom of a hill but no real
encounters with trees.  Still, it's always beautiful.  I love to go out
skiing at night after a fresh snow.
