Left my camera home so no pictures of Thacher Park, but I did get some pictures of Schodack Island State Park, before I upset one my contacts and couldn’t see much of all, and had to limp back to my truck.

I am actually running low on contacts, and despite all my delays, I really need to schedule an appointment with some eye doctor – which because I always delay, I will probably end up seeing another guy in a cardboard box on the roadside to get my vision checked, and they will give me a prescription that I can’t really see out of the glasses. I really should plan things out a little better.

Snowshoed at Schodack Island State Park, and for the first time in a long-time cross-country skied at Thacher Park. At Thacher Park, I went from Ryan Road up to the Nature Center via that trail that crosses private land on an easement. It was nice to do some sking, and it’s much faster and easier on the shins then snowshoes, especially with warm sticky snow.

The next time I go to Schodack Island State Park, I will use skis rather then snowshoes. With the sticky snow of Saturday, I kept hitting my shins with the front of the snowshoes, which started to hurt after a while.
