The donkey carried me home from work this evening, 3-4” of fresh snow and still some flakes in the air. Small town Vermont. Sunday night, 10:15-10:45pm. Three miles asphalt, lightly plowed no sand. I didn’t see much pavement. Following that stretch was 2 miles on unplowed dirt roads. Second gear the entire way, modal speed about 16mph. This was my very first run in these conditions. I was…tense. Things went quite smooth except uphill runs on the unplowed parts. The tail of the donk wanted to wash out left and right. Feet down several times, but never dropped her. Adventure!
