Remember in the Ghostbusters movie, when they emphasized the importance of not crossing streams? It’s the exact same thing with snowshoeing. Only it’s your snowshoes you don’t want to cross when walking or turning—which could possibly result in you plummeting into the fluffy snow and floundering there like a rather clumsy bear. Not that this … Continue reading

Winter Wonderland Weekend in Door County, Wisconsin
As we drove through Illinois towards Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago, we were encouraged to see the first signs of snow on the ground.

A Segway Tour in Savannah, Georgia
I stepped onto a Segway for the very first time in Savannah last fall. And then promptly stepped back off while holding onto the handlebars which is a strict no-no and causes the Segway to attempt to make an escape from you without you being onboard. Which is a little intimidating. But within a few … Continue reading
