Get an early start and pack a lunch too.

My current condition is keeping of my x-country skis this winter but if I heal enough* I
might do a little flat ground skiing in March.

* they cut me in half to take out the bad stuff and I don’t want to hurt to my belly or
legs. I just started to walk again about a month ago and for the last 2.5 weeks I can
make #1 & #2 like a big boy.

Enjoy the snow. Btw I love the crunch crunch sound of really cold snow or when the flakes
sparkle like diamonds in the moonlight or with the right sunlight.

Enjoy but do not fall because jeans can get wet and that isn't fun in the cold. Botany Jan 2024 #1

If you get a chance New Germany State Park in western MD along with their cabins are heaven Botany Jan 2024 #4

I've not yet been to that park but I've camped at Swallow Falls, also in Garrett Co. Mousetoescamper Jan 2024 #6

The cabins are to die for. But if you want the park has spots for tent camping Botany Jan 2024 #11
