Snow Shoe & XC Skining on the Trails of Dorion Property, part of Orono Land Trust

The weather man promised a nice 19 deg day for the Bangor area ... all we got was 2 degs

But cold weather did not keep 20+ DOC members from taking advantage of a nice day on the groomed trails.  Meg & Ron L. did a fine job of giving us a choice of snowshoeing or XC skiing.  Actually it turned out to be a very nice day.  After the outing most of us went to the Family Dog restaurant for a hot lunch.
