Monthly Recap
Month: Dec. 2008
Number of Adventures: 9
Miles Adventured: Approximately 19.5
Hours Adventured: approximately 12.25
Adventure Destinations: Pine Hill Park, Rugby Field/Swamp, Town Farm Trail, Pittsford Trails, Moosalamoo, Shrewsbury aka Plymsbury Wildlife Management Area
Adventure Companions: Colyn, Mom, and Reno
Thoughts: I got started kind of slow this month, but I managed to pack in quite a few adventures at the very end. I had some great adventures this month as well as a couple misadventures. I saw quite a few interesting sights. The "aquatic crop circle" and the debris damn in Pittsford were particularly interesting. The snow at the end of the month was fabulous. Moosalamoo sees a lot more traffic in the winter. I may have to find a different parking area and different trails to use. I found a new set of trails in Shrewsbury that will allow me to avoid the snowmobilers. Shrewsbury is closer and has easier parking, so I may end up hiking there quite a bit this winter. I think I managed to hit all of my main adventuring locations this month.

Adventure XVII
Date of Adventure: Sat. 20 Dec. 2008
Type of Adventure: Hike, sort of.
Place of Adventure: Town Farm Trail
Length of Adventure, miles: <1
Length of Adventure, hours: 1
Companion(s): Colyn
Weather: 12" of snow on the ground and still snowing, temps in the low 20's.
Other Adventurers Encountered: 1 guy with his 3 dogs.
Points of Interest: 1. Snow! Snow! and more Snow! 2. This was my first use of the snow shoes so far this winter, not that they helped much.
Caveat: We were unable to actually reach the trail due to the washout of the planks providing access across the stream. But, we had fun playing fetch in the field.
