Moonlight Snowshoe

A full moon snowshoe has an exhilarating affect on me. The moon untouched by any clouds just light up the snow beneath my feet. It's amazing to walk through the woods at night with no fear and no need of any light other than that moon. Peaceful steps push me forward up the mountain. I have no intention other than to soak up the rays, and the quiet and tasteful breeze. Waltzing through the previous tracks and then stepping onto my own trail makes my mind ease from the worries of the day. I could go on forever since the moon seems to pulse through me with bolts of energy. The stories of how the moon affects people and makes them a little crazy are everywhere but I have a different feeling for this experience and take from it excitement and energy. Not too many places can you drive a short distance and put on your snowshoes and in minutes be so lucky to have this experience. If ever you have the opportunity to do this, please take advantage of it an go tip toe through the snow under moonlight.
