My GPS and Me

Entry 43
March 15


I went out for a hike on the snowshoes yesterday, probably the last such outing for the season since the temperatures are rising and the snow is rapidly deteriorating.  


My gps keeps track of the details of my daily walks, many of which have exceeded 10 kilometers. Psychologically, the gps prods me to go further than I might otherwise. The distance on Monday was 5.97 kilometers, much of it on crusty snow and almost none of it in neat straight lines because I was in open fields or copses of trees.  You can see that our dog, Gracie and I stayed alongside the railway tracks for a bit and then broke trail to reach a nearby forest.  Here's the map from yesterday.
