I love snow shoeing. It's my favorite sport. What I like to do is walk across a frozen Lake Kanasatka and walk up old logging roads up the southern hump of Red Hill until I get to Junction 8 of the snowmobile trail.

I often get quizzical glances from the helmets with my dogs and me being so far from home.

Shorter walks include the Loon Center and I esp. like a hidden gem on Center Harbor Neck Road the Proctor Sanctuary, an Audubon land with a 40-minute loop.

Another favorite hike is Doublehead Mtn, parking off a dead-end road called "Mountain Road" on the Squam Lakes Conservation map. It's in Sandwich, off Rte. 113. It gets a little steep but the views are extremely rewarding. Plus, it is rarely hiked, unlike some of its Squam Range hilltop neighbors.

Another very good place, esp. on weekdays, is the Chamberlain-Reynolds area off College Road in Center Harbor.

I used to be fast but my knees are beginning to show their age.
