This past weekend I participated in Book Across the Bay in Ashland, WI. Originally, the plan was to hike the 6 miles of frozen water wearing snowshoes. But with the warm weather, there was no snow covering the ice and thus no reason to wear snowshoes. It was sad, really, because I love my snowshoes. So, my husband Chad and I bought some YakTrax, which are similar to ice cleats, and we walked our way across the bay.
It was delightful! Along the six mile route, there were ten rest points. Each one had a big fire going and volunteers were handing out water. I'm so thankful for volunteers! They make the world go round. Some stops offered cookies and music and pretty lights.

We're hoping to compete again next year as well.
