Hill Route from Fleet Feet in Brighton. Slow pace to Cobbs Hill along Monroe then a total of 5 up and downs from Highland - then back down Monroe.

Mt Jo/Heart Lake Loop. The snow continued in earnest throughout the night - so we were wavering on heading up Mt Jo versus staying on the flat (and more trafficked) trails back to Marcy Dam. Mt. Jo is an easy (but steep) hike in the summer, but we had never really snowshoed in these conditions. We decided we were up for the challenge and we were both glad we went up. The short trail up had been broken earlier in the day by 1 or 2 groups - but it looked like no one had been on the longer section down. So breaking trail on the way down and following the markers was a bit more difficult. Anyway the top was fine with about 1/2 mile of visibility. When we got down we finished with a loop around Heart Lake. Of course the sky cleared once we finished our hike. Still had a great time!

Headed back to good old Rochester, catching an occasional radio update on the Purdue game versus Florida. Good thing we on the road in the North Country and couldn't get the game!
