Still WiseCracking: Happy Jack, Happy Me

What a pleasant surprise, yesterday we were cross-country skiing in beautiful snow at Happy Jack (near Laramie WY) with our granddaughter.  We had not been there for a long time and the snow was perfect.  The hills are gently rolling and with moderate temperatures, it was ideal.  If you go, (Exit 323, off I -80, go N 1 mile on Happy Jack Rd) it is often very windy when you park. BUT when you are on the trail amidst the trees, it is calm.  If you have snowshoes, they have specific trails for you.   It was euphoric, feeling grateful for a beautiful day.  Time outdoors is so restorative.  And oh, there was a little stiffness today.  A good trade-off.
