First Snow Shoe Hike Quincy MA

After a few inches of snow fell yesterday, it was time today to try out the new snow shoes!   So our trial walk, we did a local hike around the Parks near our home.  Snow shoeing is awesome!  You can feel the extra workout and you plow through a snowy field.  I can't wait to go again!

Quincy Local Spin

Temp was in the 20s F.  I wanted to try out the new bike shoes, they worked great.  I did not do the complete ride, because of half frozen ice into Squantum point park.  Glad I made up my mind to go for a ride today, I feel great now.

Cold Hike Blue Hills

The wx was cold.  We left the parking lot and the temp was 14 F.   My hydro pack froze.  Once we were in the forest, and walking fast, we felt warm.  We we stopped, and in any open spots exposed to the wind, we became quite cold very quickly.  This was usual hike.  Down Sawcut Notch, and over Fox Hill.  This time we wasted little time, and there was little conversation.

2012 New Years Day Blue Hills Hike Quincy MA

Today the wx was warm for New Years.  The temps quickly reached the 50s F.  We were dressed for colder wx.  When we left it was still in the 30s.  We made a quick hike, over one hour.  We did no climbing this time.  Just Sawcut, then the green dot / gas line.

Happy New year!
