Another new thing I got to experience on my trip to Maine is the phenomenon of
"postholing." If you are as unfamiliar with the term as I was, this is when you
walk on the surface of the snow, and you break through and sink into the softer
snow below the crust, creating what looks like a posthole. The two New England
natives with us did fine walking about, as one wore snowshoes and the other had
ninja like skills in picking his footing, but the other city boy and I created
enough postholes to fence in the Ponderosa. It may sound trivial, but it is both
quite exhausting, and quite painful. Dragging one or both of your legs out of
crotch-deep snow (sometimes with a nice pocket of water beneath) takes a lot out
of you, and I have cuts and bruises on my shins from where they hit the crust on
the way down.
