http://coord.info/GC5FZKD 2nd Annual Snowshoeing at the Chippewa Moraine Rec
The plan again is to meet up, do some snowshoeing, grab some caches, eat lunch and have some fun.
Start showing up around 10:00 – 10:30 am at the Ice Age Interpretive Center, the Ice Age Center opens at 8:30am, then by 11:00am we’ll head to the Hodge Lake Gate. Bring your own lunch because we will be snowshoeing .5 miles (1/2 a mile) to the Hodge Lake Dining Hall and eating there. After lunch we can leave our stuff behind at the Dining Hall and continue on snowshoeing and geocaching or you could snowshoe back out with any trash. On the way back out we will stop at the Dining Hall to grab our trash and head out. If you want to head off on your own you can make it as easy or as challenging as you want.
Hope to see you there.

The Event must go on. The 2014 photo below was at 15 to 20 below windchill’s and still 22 people came and snowshoed for a couple hours, so I will not cancel the event.
I have had quite a few people contact me about the temps (if you sent me an email or message you were not the only one) so I want people to feel comfortable with the options available at the event and the fact that I will be there and ready to go for whatever the group decides. If we want to follow the schedule then let’s do it. It is not like we can’t just turn around and go I guess it was to chilly. Snowshoeing itself will be fine for as long as you wear proper clothes and cover up your face. As least I don’t have to worry about signing any logs!!!
The meet up and plan the day portion of the event is still on from 10:00 – 10:30 inside the Interpretive Center. Take a photo and then by 10:30 we should have our day planned which might just be to play with the animals inside the Ice Age Center, go grab a couple park and grabs, see how far we can make it right behind the Ice Age Center, or disperse and go our own ways. I am very flexible on what to do but cannot reschedule. You still get a smiley for attending.
Things to do in the interpretive center, hold a snake, pet a turtle, dig for fossils, borrow snowshoes, watch a nature video, do a scavenger hunt, feed the fish a bug, discover how ice formed the Chippewa Moraine, try the voyageurs’ paddle race or play voyageurs’ tug-of-war.Next snowshoeing event will be in Barron Wisconsin on March 14th at 6:30 pm.

The 3rd Annual Snowshoeing at the Chippewa Moraine is planned February 13th, 2016. I was planning on going from Knickerbocker Lake to Horseshoe Lake but now could probably just go to Hodge Lake. I have all these nice maps already made up. I have time to figure it out.
