The fae are the fairy folk, lol - we like to hunt for them in the quarries and forests nearby. lots of fun (haven't found them yet, but I have actually heard some stories in the area).
That's a good idea about snowshoes. I remember looking at some from my YT van lifers, but they were out of the budget! I'll have to stake some second hand stores in the area...that would help a bunch in the winter as a lot of trails are horrible.
