Cross Country Skiing at the Audubon



We had a great morning of skiing at the Audubon.  It was sunny most of the morning, and we got a really good work out, as it took us around an hour and fifteen minutes.  We did not see anyone on the way, so we had the preserve to ourselves.  We enjoyed the amazing pines, branches topped with snow, which create a dark cathedral in parts as they are so dense.  Next time, it would be fun to bring some food along and have a picnic, especially on a day like today, though it was in the low 20's. There are a couple of large ponds, frozen now and covered with snow.  They are bridges built across it in various parts and viewing stations so you  can sit and watch the wildlife.  We really didn't notice any on our trek, though we weren't paying a great deal of attention to birds. The Audubon is open on Mondays, Fridays, and the weekend and really caters to the natural world, with exhibitions, meeting rooms, a lounge, and areas for kids to learn about the natural world.  There is also a gift shop. rest rooms, and upstairs, a large meeting room for gatherings of members and guests.  I also saw where kids are encouraged to have their birthday parties there.  We have become members, so we get their newsletters, and they are always doing cool things during the month.
