Snowshoeing 2:20:00 [3]
Winter camping trip with Coach LD, Goose, Storm and Browner.
Hard to get motivated for winter here in Caledon, but it was pounding down snow in the Torrance barrens. We did a first loop before Goose arrived with his magical sleigh containing the full Shangri-la camp. Next we humped and hauled an embarrasement of goodies up to camp. I think my pack was 40kg, and Goose's sled even more. We got the fantastic Snowtrekker tent set up, chopped wood for the stove and set up our tents.
Our MEC tent decided to biodegrade- a pole snapped, I repaired it, then the fly split as a window came unglued. Thank goodness for space blankets.
We had time for another great snowshoe jaunt in winter wonderland before having a great, warm, dry evening celebrating New Year in the Shangrila camp Goose efficiently deployed.
