Wilderness Lodge

This past weekend Sweetie and I traveled east to Wattburg, PA for a weekend of cross country skiing at Wilderness Lodge. The lodge is a great place that I have visited a number of times over the years along with a group of friends from COP including Terry Smith & Glenn Beachy who organize this trip each year.

The two of us arrived after nightfall and we organized a group from COP for a night hike along roads near the lodge. It was a cloudless evening and we enjoyed looking at the stars during our walk before turning in for the evening.

With warm temps the week before we had less than ideal ski conditions. The snow was icy and this made skiing a bit of a challenge at times. However, we still enjoyed skiing several miles of groomed trails.

After dinner on Saturday evening, Terry shared pictures from an incredible trip he and his wife Vikki took to Alaska. It was just what we needed to get us thinking about our next big adventure.

The staff at Wilderness Lodge take great care of us each year and I can't wait to return next Winter.
