Winter is the Mother of Invention


This winter has brought an abundant amount of snow that has stuck around for an exceedingly long time.  Yeah, we caught a spring-like 42 degree day on Tuesday (perfect for stacking firewood and scooping dog poop) but there remains plenty of snow base to be enjoyed.

The upshot of this is that there has been plenty of miles put on the snowshoes and by virtue of back and forth, back and forth a semi-groomed and packed trail. 

My pal, New Guy, found this ingenious contraption on the web.

A home-built trail groomer.

If I get a head start on this early in the season, and before the snow gets so deep that I run the risk of stranding the tractor, I could have a decently groomed and packed trail suitable for both snowshoeing and cross country skiing.
