Bait and tackle will be provided, but a valid fishing license is required. Dress warmly and bring your lunch compliments ofMike's deli at The Border Crossing. Day 3 - Snowshoeing through the Green Mountains Discover the silence and serenity of the woods on a guided snowshoe tour. No previous snowshoe experience is necessary. If you can walk a straight line you can learn to snowshoe. Whilst snowshoeing in this 150 acre tract of pristine northern Vermont forest offering mountain vistas and glacier rocks, you'll keep an eye out for moose, deer, wild turkeys, foxes, white snow-rabbits and other wildlife who call the Jay area home. You'll learn to identify tracks in the snow, trees with bear markings (don't worry, you won't be seeing any bears in the winter) and as an added bonus, you will go "geocaching" searching for hidden treasure using a GPS system. This tour lasts about 3 hours ending with hot chocolate and roasted marshmallows around a campfire.
