Snow has finally started falling and the December temps are cold! Brrr! We did manage to get out to check out some of our areas activities. We did a jaunt (hiking and driving) through the Copper Country state forest (Merriman ski/hike/bike trail and Norway truck trail) which is across the road from us. This is such a huge area of land that we spent hours in and came across no one! I definately recommend a GPS so you don't get lost. We did manage to "misplace" our vehicle and spent 3 hours and close to 8 miles of walking to find it again! It was a good walk! I spent the next few days recuperating :)
