path to the snowmobile trail

[asakiyume]

The snow's between two and three feet high on the ground, which means it's not easy to walk through without snow pants, which means you're confined to roads. I like walking on the snowmobile trails, but it's a matter of getting there ...

So I shoveled a path--the path I'd normally take--from my neighborhood road to the snowmobile trail.

It is a thing of beauty! Behold, its entrance:



Unfortunately, the snow plow, in widening the road, knocked snow into it...



But I brought my shovel as well as my camera. There. That's better!





Through the woods...



heading toward the retention pond...





At last, it meets the snowmobile trail, which looks like a regular highway by comparison:



And now I can walk in the woods without snow pants, AND I can walk into town along the snowmobile path.

That is some impressive path! How are your back, thighs, and hands?

I took some ibuprofen afterward--feeling no pain! (Or, no pain other than the aches and pains I usually feel :-P)

I'm so glad you took your time and your Ibuprophen.
