1-6-13 Niquette Bay

Where do you go if you don't want to drive far, get on road that lead to skiing and will be packed and don't have a lot of time.  Niquette Bay answered all of those criteria.

The snow was maybe 6 inches deep but the trails so packed that I just needed my microspikes and that was it.  Busy too, lots of people and their dogs.  Sal was... reasonably well behaved.

 There is a little beach where you can see out into Lake Champlain.  This bay at least was frozen.  Most of the lake isn't at this point.

 Sal found this stick on the beach and grew quite attached.

Normally you would be able to see an amazing view of Mount Mansfield.  Not on this day.
