Snowshoeing on the coldest day...

Some say I'm brave..some say I'm stupid! So I think somewhere in the middle of that must be the truth, right?? One way or another..I am on a mission weekly and that is to trek up Rib Mountain. I don't know what it is but nothing seems to stop me. If it's raining, snowing, windy, thunderstorms...nothing seems to stop me from walking up there. Take Saturday for example. It was 9 below zero..25 below chill factor..and what am I doing?? I'm layering up big time and getting on snowshoes for the first time and getting my "climb" in. It was my 38th trek up there. My walking buddy, Heather Stone, and I are the only people I know crazy enough to get up to Rib at 7am in the morning..the sun isn't up yet at that time. It's a call of the mountain..it's something..I just know that I have to go.
