Another Eve and Firmer Resolution

Pat & I decided to go snowshoeing. Anna & Evan dropped us off on Mansion Road and we started up the Red Square trail. Note for future trips - the Red Square is actually off of the driveway where the trails hit Mansion Road. A horse trail starts at the bottom but luckily we looked for the Red Square markers and saw the problem right away.

It was a fairly uneventful hike. We went up the Red Square to the Green and followed that to the Red Circle. Then we headed down from there. We only saw one other guy up on the Blue on the cliffs to our right as we turned onto the Red Circle and then 2 guys and a woman we passed just after we crossed the White trail.

More determined than ever to get the 4 Seasons done in 2011. I modified our Giant Master Excel files to keep track of how many different times we've done each segment. This will still only have a maximum of 12 for each as we do each in each month but not note when we've duplicated a section within the same month.

It was a great hike and took a little over an hour.

Christmas Eve and resolution

Took Sadie for a quick walk kind of late (3:45?). When I got to the Yellow Trail, Evan called to say that they were all going to 4:30 Mass and I was on my own. They told me to start the clam chowder at 5:00 but that gave me over an hour. I was off!

I had thought about going for the Orange segment between Circle and Square because I noticed it was short a week ago. This would give me it for winter even though I already have it in December. But now I decided to go for the Orange and Yellow in the 5th segment.

It went pretty quickly and smoothly and I was back home by 4:50. I'm pretty determined now to at least go for the 4 Seasons Giant Master in 2011, if not the 12 Month Master.

For now, it's Merry Christmas time!
