1st snowshoe of the season

Today I went on a short hike to Negro Lake near Canada Lake in the Adirondacks. A great 1st snowshoe of the season. The temps were in the 20's and the snow was powder. The hike was only about a mile in but it was a great breaking in for the 1st snow shoe of the season. The Herkimer Alpiners were out and we had a group of 8. The nicest bunch you'll never meet. While the day remained overcast throuout, the snow made it very bright. Even layering, I still was wet with sweat by the time I got to the car. Still learning about removing the layers I have on I guess. The lake isn't much to speak of. We didn't get close because of the steep sides going down to the lake. From the map, it looks like an easier access from Canada Lake via canoe in the warmer months. Even so, not much to look at, just a nice snowshoe on a nice day.
