Valentine's shuffle to Lonesome Lake

With my new snowshoes, poles and newly purchased and rented gear, we set off with Outdoor Bound for Valentine's Day weekend in the mountains of NH. To quote the NYT article, it "sounded romantic and adventuresome all at once."

It was.

I did not know I would be "glissading" or HIKING up a mountain for that matter but it was challenging, fun and most of all humbling to be in the natural elements for an extended period of time.

The hut where we dormed was part of the Appalachian Mountain Club and we met some interesting folk along the way. Thanks Kirk and Eric and a special thanks to Eric!
