Winter Hiking

 Back in the day, I enjoyed winter camping.  I had the skills, the right equipment and was prepared to turn around if needed.  This last point is important since you need to know when to quit.

For example I had (still have) mickey mouse boots that are Army design to keep feet warm.  I bought them from Bata Shoe company in Edgewood or Aberdeen Maryland back in the early 80s.

How'd I learn about these boots?  From an Hurricane Island Outward Bound trip I took in the early 80s also in the White Mountains of NH.  We summitted Mt. MOOSILAUKE.  We met in Hanover, NH.  It was a great experience.
