D and I spent the weekend up in Rangely ME with friends. They have a beautiful place on Mooselookmeguntic Lake right in the heart of snowmobiling country. D hung out with her friends while our host took me out for some of the best sledding of my life. However, he liked the rough back-country trails and my sled is really not made for that type of terrain. However, with a little persuasion (and a lot shoveling) we managed to get through the trails.
The deer and moose signs were everywhere (I had moose shit on my sled) and we often had to reduce speeds or risk running into one of these big creatures.
It was almost surreal coming home and realizing it was time to rake the yard as we had been post-holing in 3 - 4 feet of the white stuff every time we ventured off trail for the past three days.
Sledding season is over for me and J, and while it was a great one, I am looking forward to the warmer weather.
PS. Why the title "Folgers Weekend"? That was their coffee brand... Yuck :-) The best part of waking up is definitely NOT Folgers in your cup. Yes, I am a coffee snob.

Moose shit. Yum. Hahaha.
I am looking forward to warmer weather as well. This winter has gone on long enough. It's officialy Spring already, right? It just does not feel like it at all.
Folgers isn't so bad. I, too, am a coffee snob, but I think Maxwell House is the worst. I love freshly grounded coffee, but if need be and I have to resort to any kind of instant coffee, my current favorite is Nescafe.
