SUMMARY:Fire and Ice Winter Backpacking Trip
DESCRIPTION:Greetings Winter Wanderer\, \nYou are not like most men. You see\, most men seek comfort when the thermometer dips toward zero and the snow starts flying. But that’s not you. The sophisticated man hunkers down at the local coffee shop on these blustery days\, but not you. No\, you are a bit of a primitive man\, a man who embraces the biting cold\, just to experience the most silent and exquisite of all seasons\, winter! \nIf this is indeed the man you are\, or that you want to be\, we invite you to join us for a winter backpack trip to the snow covered grassy bald known as Whigg Meadow. At nearly a mile high and with 360-degree unobstructed views\, you can see nearly forever during the day\, and to the ends of the universe at night! It’s a place where you can’t help but feel closer to God.  And\, while we can’t promise you snow\, we can promise you an outdoor experience that will be free of heat\, bugs\, and crowds! \nTo see a PHOTOBLOG of one of our trips CLICK HERE \nIf this adventure interests you\, sign-up\, pack your bags\, and let’s go! \nHere’s to Building Better Men\, \nMarty D.
