second snow shoe adventure

Lydia did finally arrive. We left the dog with the roomie ("my baby is here!") and headed to Monocacy Park.

The lot was slightly plowed. It was not as bad as the one at the rail trail. I strapped on my snow shoes and we did the 1 mile nature trail loop. Lydia wanted to take snow pictures. At one point the trail was so narrow by the creek I was afraid I would fall in. Good thing it's not deep. But it would be cold.

Climbing over fallen trees also was a challenge. Should use poles I guess.

Then we walked down the railroad tracks toward the mill. Illicks Mill Road was totally clean, so I took off my snow shoes and put them in the car. I should have carried them to the other side of the street. We headed to the waterfall expecting it to be frozen.

I also expected the creek to be more frozen. Every day at Lafayette I watch the ice float down the Delaware. There has been ice dams all month in Philly. But the Monocacy was running freely. The mallards were swimming, but no Canadian geese could be seen. I guess they can't stand the cold? Maybe they finally went back to Canada.

Then it was off to BJs, and AC Moore. When we got home, a certain doggie wanted a walk. I'm a sucker, we took him.
