The Last of the Winter
April 24, 2007 | 10:39 pm
Here in New England, we say that with some hesitation, some trepidation. You never know.
But we went geocaching in the woods of New Boston, New Hampshire, on Saturday, wearing t-shirts, and came across bits of snow and ice still holding out (one has to remember that it snowed here a mere week and a half ago!). In fact, Paul and Jacob made it a point to pelt me and Anastasia with snowballs!
Came across this stream with ice hovering over it. Very strange, very beautiful.
It was a trail of geocaches, sometimes called a power trail: we picked up eight of them on two-mile hike. Beautiful woods, beautiful day, only one DNF (did not find). I’m going into a few weeks of intense work: travel next week to Quebec to write about icebreakers there, then covering a conference on bioethics in Boston the following week; and in June I’m heading to Bucharest to promote a book … so this may be it for family geocaching for a while. I’m glad that the “last” one was such a great one!
