Ok so when I pictured us and snow shoes I was envisioning tennis rackets like Pa Ingalls wore.  It being about 150 years later and all they handed out aluminum frame models.  In yellow. That made the kids' class look an awful lot like a flock of little ducks as they flapped along down the trail.  

This is a winter sport I think I like. It makes hiking a year round option. You walk, you stop, you take pictures. 

Highlights of this walk were finding a deer scapula and magpie tracks.
