Because .... snowmobiling.
I finally saw the entirety of Bear Spring Mountain. From astride a snowmobile and man oh man, was it fun!
To be clear, my top speed was 20 m.p.h, for a 50 foot stretch, and I almost lost my right ski to a maturing birch tree on trail no.1, and I wiped out in the unplowed, over-crowded parking lot ... but who am I to complain?
The photos don't do this place justice.
It is my home away from home.
Charlie Browne was not allowed. But I did take him on a very short snow-shoe hike after my three hour ride.
The snow was knee-high and I am out-of-shape, though in-pretty-good-shape-for-almost-being-50. The hike was short.
But the views were long... expansive...beautiful.
