A day on the trails

Melissa and I headed out on the sleds today, our plan was to go to her brothers house in Bridgton and back. Well we made it, and learned a few things along the way. We unloaded at the Casco Fire station and headed towards Naples. We stopped and took pictures along the way. We hit the trail at 8:30 and didn't see anyone else for the first hour. The trails were great having been the first ones on them. We got on long lake, coincidentally that lake is long! We then headed off into the woods towards Bridgton. Little did we know we took the scenic route, which was also the long way. we hooked up with about 10 others and rode with them for half an hour or so; and then split into different directions. We made it to her brothers on a slushy Highland lake. On the return trip we stopped for lunch at the Lake Region House of Pizza. We checked the map and headed to Greg and Jyselle's house via a much shorter route to home. We found two or three more routes along the way that would have sped up our trip, but we enjoyed the ride. Overall we went about 65 miles in eight hours. Stopping for lunch, breaks, and chatting. This was Mel's first "big" trip, her thumb was tired for the last 10 miles or so, but she's a trooper. She even Pee'd in the woods.
