Another Snowshoe Race Review
Was that you that coined the phrase, "Most Lost in a Snow Globe" in this morning's paper? This would be in reference to my adventure in the forest, otherwise known as the Finger Lakes Snowshoe Race? If so, THANK YOU!!!! What a great and appropriate description! I was fully prepared to be interviewed by you, as I thought that my story would be far more interesting than some guy who finished in one hour. My two hours, forty-eight minutes were far more fun than his, more than twice as fun as a matter of fact.
I must say that I caught on quick. I began to think that things were amiss when I passed the pickup truck that was stuck in a ravine....the "Posted, No Trespassing" signs got me worrying, but when the "road" dead-ended at a farm, the lights came on, I looked around for banjoes, and seeing none, quickly ripped off my hand-made surf-board-like snowshoes and began running for my life. But, the race purist that I am, when I finally made it back to the faux-point and saw the little orange sign saying to me "no, THIS WAY, stupid", I had to put the shoes back on and finish the race.
Just thought that you would want to know the story....feel free to use it!!!
