Boy, did I ever pick THE best year ever to buy cross country skis. It has been an amazing winter for skiing. We've spent hours on the wonderfully groomed trails throughout Kaplan's Woods and certainly know most nooks and crannies by heart - even in the dark. Speaking of night skiing, we are outfitted with our headlamps and can manuever our way through every twist and turn along the trail while under the stars.
A week ago we skiied through Rice Lake State Park (about 7 miles from Owatonna) during the Candlelight ski event. What a great evening! The friends of Rice Lake Park were offering treats and had a roaring bonfire going.
We are so incredibly lucky to have such wonderful trails and parks so close to home. Even though we've been experiencing a pretty solid Minnesota winter, I've come to enjoy this season just as much as the other seasons that we get to experience. To top it off, I'm getting a heck of a physical work out - along with a wonderful release from and stress or tension - there's nothing like exploring Mother Nature's great outdoors.
