Book 2, Tyler's Law, has gone to the printer, so I should have the first copy in my hot little hand in a few more days...
Saturday, I took a snowshoe trip to the top of the ridge across the creek from the house. There's a gate up there that was left open last fall and needed to be closed; I was pretty sure from looking at the ridge from the other side of the canyon that there was no way to get the four-wheeler up there, so I decided to walk. I've been getting entirely too fat anyway, and it would be good exercise...
Once I got to the gate, it was of course under the snow; I found out that a snowshoe makes a fair to middling snow shovel. The gate is now closed. On the way up, I saw one coyote, way too far away to try to shoot, and on the way back down I saw a bunch of deer. It was a very pleasant day, and a very pleasant walk, about three miles round trip...
Regarding hiking up the ridge on snowshoes: this winter, at D&B's "customer appreciation sale", I bought a set, top and bottom, of DuoFold polypro active base layer. It's supposed to wick moisture, and I'm here to tell you, it works! I did quite a bit of sweating, but when I got home, my outer layer was damp, but the base layer was dry! I was impressed...
