This past Sunday my daughter, Jennifer, and I ventured down to Beaver Meadow Nature Center in North Java to do some snowshoeing. I got snowshoes last Christmas and wanted to put them to good use. Rentals are available, so we rented a pair for Jennifer. We only were out about an hour or so, but one could probably spend all day there as they have eight miles of trails. We had a lot of fun. The visitor's center has three floors of exhibits, along with a small gift shop.
