Kelly and I headed out to Palos Forest Preserve on Saturday, along with Bernie for some hiking in the snow. The weather was comfortable, upper 20's with 3-4" of the white stuff on the trails. We hiked a lot of the trails I ride during the Summer, and it was amazing how a trail seems completely different, and it was grat not running into a bunch of people. The whole hike we saw two mountain bikers and one cross country skier. We decided if Bernie were a sled dog, he would have to be the lead dog. He can't stand it if he is not the one blazing the trail. We hiked for about two hours and were beat by the end. Hiking in snow really works the legs, especially the calves.
