By Snowshoe 
By DONALD HOUGH 
IKING as a sport is a modern 
form of recreation. Walking in 
itself is of course the oldest form 
of locomotion, and doubtless the first 
movement of the first animal was 
some sort of a shuffle. But walking, 
not because you’ve got to get some 
place and haven’t any carfare, but be- 
cause you think it’s fun, is something 
which is a distinct by-product of the 
machine age. It is so unusual, com- 
paratively speaking, that it has come 
within the category of recreation. 
Recreation, in the broadest sense, 
entails doing something which is not 
included in the menu of everyday life. 
Thus spading a garden is recreation 
to a person who spends his days in an 
office, even though it is the usual 
drudgery of life to a professional dig- 
ger of the soil. 
It was only in comparatively recent 
times that the advent of a general 
sedentary existence brought on by in- 
door work and artificial means of tran- 
sit made it possible for the most usual 
human exertion, walking, to become a 
sport, a means of recreation. 
It’s pretty hard for persons who live 
in the open to see how others, who do 
not, can possibly obtain any pleasure 
from doing the things which to them 
are matters of hard work. 
lig the people who live in the vicinity 
of the Superior National Forest, 
in Minnesota, to get down to facts, a 
snowshoe hiking trip in winter across 
the wide expanse of virgin wilderness 
was a matter to be undertaken only 
under pressure of the utmost neces- 
sity. It meant a period during which 
all touch with civilization would be 
lost, and for several days all the hiker 
could do would be to push on through 
the pine forests, across lakes, down 
the pine-flanked ribbons of white which 
had been rivers. It is not particularly 
surprising, then, that when state game 
and fish commissioner Gould, of Min- 
nesota, decided to go by dog team and 
snowshoe through the interior of the 
forest over a trail of 150 miles long, 
and when twenty sportsmen took ad- 
vantage of his invitation to come along, 
that everybody around the forest 
thought these city fellows were crazy. 
“Imagine them hiking on snowshoes 
through the forest when they don’t 
have to,” said the woodsmen who had 
housed up for the winter in Ely and 
Winton, gateways to the region. 
UT the sportsmen were out to find 
out how a hiking trip in winter 
compared to the same things in sum-_ 
mer. Also, having paddled through 
the waterway labyrinth of the Supe- 
rior Forest in summer in their canoes, 
which afforded the only means of en- 
tering the region, they wanted to see 
what their vacation grounds looked 
like under the white blanket. 
The start was made from Winton, 
at the end of the railroad and six miles 
north of Ely, headquarters of the 
Forest. Three dog teams of five dogs 
each, belonging to the game and fish 
department, were loaded with food 
supplies, frozen fish for the dogs, and 
with the heavier items of camp equip- 
ment. The men, most of whom had 
never been on snowshoes before, car- 
ried their own packs containing blan- 
kets and all personal effects.
