Lovely Winter Camping!

We backpacked to a random spot here on the North Country Trail during the holidays. There was about 10+ inches of snow off trail but the trails were well maintained. We ventured off trail quite a ways and had to dig some snow to set up our tent. Plenty of dead and downed wood to get a fire going! If you are looking to do some fun dispersed camping with a nearby fishing lake (or ice fishing perhaps), this is for you. Also, saw lots of wild Turkeys!
