Snowshoe Walk

Put the Snowshoes on and paddled back to the Creek...Black Oaks down at Duck Harbor....checked Creek's End...Leaning Cedars okay...continued around on the Inside Loop...usually this walk takes about fifteen minutes....Snow deep enough that it took near an hour and a half!...went slow, muscles not used to wading in Snow...I have a pair of the plastic rectangular Snowshoes, and I'm thinking they are just not big enough for my weight...anyway...took some scenics along the way...heard Ouzel and Kinglets and Blue Jay...saw Ravens....quiet otherwise...cloudy during the walk, sunny in the aftenoon while at work...cool...

Here's a link to the story of Snowshoe Thompson, who was known to have ski like snowshoes ten feet long!...which would explain how he got through the deep Snow across the Sierra delivering mail: http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=12028
