Kent you stupid knob...

Saturday's snowshoe adventure was an annoying slog up Kent Ridge South, to a high point known as "The Knob." The fortune in my fortune cookie summed up our day aptly: The days that break you, are the days that make you.

The day started out promising with warm temperatures and a well beaten track, but that disappeared quickly, and we were soon sweating hard as we broke trail up unsupportive snow for a couple of hours. Of course we would re-find the well worn trail AFTER we'd blazed a new one through the most tedious and difficult parts. Aaarrrrgggh. Regardless, we got a great workout despite the lack of views (due to thick clouds and snow). Kent, you stupid knob.
