Winter Misfire
Not exactly Pulpit Rock, but far enough from my couch that I didn't care. Poor research and a lack of caring on my part brought us to a construction site on Pulpit Rd., not the Pulpit Rock Conservation Area like we had planned. With a few feet of snow covering everything we weren't sure where to start off New Boston Rd, and Pulpit Rd seemed like a good place to look. They are building a subdivision near there, but construction seems to have halted for the winter, turns out it was a great place to test our gear and let Zelda roam off leash for once.
The wife and I followed what looks to be the main road for the subdivision out and back, maybe 3 miles total. Used our new snowshoes starting out, but when the dirt road didn't end anywhere we just barebooted the rest of the walk. Zelda of course is in her element during the winter, must have been out there for 2 hours and no complaints from the princess.
Though it was nice to get out, planning something with an actual trailhead for next weekend. Time to get serious about things before winter is over.
