For sure, Cataboo if we're snowshoeing at a resort somewhere ...it is spending lots of time each day outdoors in the mountains and in the woods.

That's our local "cultural" scene" --Mother Nature in her glory.

However in the winter, there's only so many hrs. one's body can be outdoors without getting cold.

It's been nice for some of the ski resorts, we drive for less than 1 hr. to a winery for a meal.
Are you referring to this comment of mine, crazycanuck?? Did I infer that Mother Nature was bad?

I don't get it. I just finished saying we do the outdoors stuff like snowshoeing, cycling too and enjoy in the wonderful stuff. I just get COLD after 5-6 hrs. out there in the winter. And when I get cold, I can't really enjoy it as much. So I'm human. So I have to go indoors to something nice and maybe interesting.

My personal blog http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com has all kinds of stuff about our trips for both : outdoors, Mother Nature & the cultural stuff. My admiration blog. It's not a ranting blog.
