Blue Hills are all we've got around here. But, with over a foot of still pretty fresh snow, what better place to end my ten-day break from workouts than with 2+ hours of snowshoeing over the up and downs? Above, the view of Big Blue from the top Hemmenway Hill. We went down through the gulley in the foreground, over Wolcott and straight up Skyline Trail to the top.
We then just looped around the top and part way down the southwest side that faces the highway. Here's the cloverleaf, with Reebok World Headquarters on the right hand side.
I wanted to take a picture of the cube farm from above, but it's obscured by the hill. We didn't feel like bushwhacking down the edge far enough for it to come into view. We left back over the top and down south skyline, finishing with a great stretch along the Halfway Path area, heading up and down a bunch of little ridges, and making our own trail through untrampled snow for part of the way. When we got done I was toast. If it doesn't rain too much Sunday, maybe we'll get back out on Christmas. Great workout. Thanks for reading.
Nice. Not the piddly winter crap we get here on the great wasteland between north and south. Usually just enough to F up the roads. Hey, tubing down the driveway and into traffic is fun.
